Thriving in Mining

Thriving in Mining

Thriving in Mining is an online learning initiative that helps improve workplace mental health, wellbeing, safety and respect across the mining industry. The program delivers short, practical and engaging lessons that build essential workplace skills and encourage positive conversations about mental health, psychological safety, respectful behaviour and teamwork. By making learning accessible and easy to complete, the initiative helps individuals, teams and organisations strengthen workplace culture and performance.

The initiative uses interactive, five-minute microlessons that turn complex workplace topics into clear and memorable learning experiences. Developed by workplace wellbeing specialists, the lessons combine industry experience, evidence-based approaches and lived experience from people working in the mining sector. This practical format helps participants build knowledge and confidence as they reflect on everyday workplace behaviours and interactions.

The Thrive at Work Framework, a research-based approach to creating workplaces where people can get well, stay well and thrive, guides Thriving in Mining. The initiative enables organisations to prevent harm, promote wellbeing and develop positive workplace practices that support mentally healthy, safe and respectful working environments. Through its accessible learning resources and evidence-based foundation, Thriving in Mining builds stronger individuals, healthier teams and more productive workplaces.
