Research from the University of Melbourne, commissioned by MATES in Construction, highlights that the gap in su***de rates between construction workers and other Australians is closing.
The report confirms that male construction workers die by su***de at nearly double the rate of other employed men (25.7 per 100,000 vs 14.3 per 100,000). However, in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia, rates are steadily declining and intersecting with the national average.
