This report delivers a critical evaluation of the current landscape of mental health and suicide prevention within the Australian building and construction sector. It encapsulates a period from 2022 to 2023, providing a dual perspective encompassing both employer and employee viewpoints. The analysis is underpinned by data collated using the current Blueprint Pillars Audit Tool, which has captured responses from 116 organisations over the last 18 months, representing a workforce of 11,756 individuals directly employed by the organisation and over 45,000 construction workers under supervision of the organisation (for example, as subcontractors). Additionally, the report draws upon insights from the People at Work – Construction (PAW-CON) Survey, reflecting the detailed work experiences of 2,715 workers.
