Four years ago, Bunyarra had the privilege of commencing work with Synergy in Western Australia, delivering training and on-ground wellbeing support at Muja Power Station.

Over the past four years, it has been an honour for our team to continue returning to Muja, building relationships, supporting the workforce and helping establish a proactive support model that allows people to access support when and where they need it.

We believe effective workplace wellbeing is about more than having a service available. It's about being present, building trust, understanding the environment people work in and creating opportunities for conversations before challenges become crises.

One of the most exciting aspects has been seeing the work Synergy is undertaking to support its workforce through the transition towards future energy opportunities and new project options as Western Australia moves away from coal-fired power generation.

Workforce transitions bring opportunities, but they can also bring uncertainty and change. Ensuring people feel supported throughout that journey is incredibly important.

We are proud to have played a part in this process and to continue contributing wherever we can.

There are some amazing people across these sites, and the relationships our team has developed over the years are something we genuinely value.

Thank you to everyone at Synergy for welcoming Bunyarra back year after year and recognising the importance of proactive, accessible and ongoing wellbeing support.

Show up. Build relationships. Make support accessible. Because behind every workplace transition are people, families and communities.

Agriculture is built on hard work, resilience and a willingness to keep going, even when the conditions are tough. But behind every property, every paddock and every successful operation are people carrying responsibilities and pressures that aren't always visible.

This Mental Health Month, it's important we continue to shine a light on the mental health and wellbeing of those working across Australia's agricultural industry.

The statistics are a reminder of why this matters:

The 2026 National Farmer Wellbeing Report found that:

- 54% of farmers reported feeling depressed or down over the previous two years.
- One in three farmers said their mental health had deteriorated over the past 12 months.
- Around one in four often or always felt anxious.
- 15% reported thoughts of self-harm or su***de over the previous two years.

These findings highlight the ongoing pressures facing our farming communities, from financial uncertainty and weather conditions to isolation, long working hours and the challenges of running an agricultural business.

So, what can we do differently?

At Bunyarra Wellbeing Co., we believe support needs to be more than a phone number or an appointment in an office. It needs to be accessible, familiar and built around the realities of the environments in which people work.

This is why working alongside pastoral companies like Pakaderinga Pastoral is so valuable.

Having regular time on site allows us to do more than simply turn up when someone is struggling. It gives us the opportunity to build genuine relationships, get to know the people behind the work and establish trust over time.

It's about the conversations that happen over a cuppa, the quick check-ins between jobs, the opportunity to have a chat when something is weighing on your mind, and knowing there is someone around who will listen without judgement.

As projects continue to grow across Australia, more and more people are spending extended periods away from home, family and their usual support networks.

That’s why it’s so positive to see companies like Vestas making the time and creating the space to bring wellbeing support directly to their crews.

Engaging with workers, providing education around mental health and wellbeing, and making support accessible where people are working can make a real difference.

It’s about being proactive, building stronger teams and creating workplaces where people know that looking after their wellbeing is just as important as getting the job done.

A great initiative and a great example of investing in people. 👏

Professional sporting clubs are far more complex than what we often see from the outside.

Behind every game are players, coaches, staff, volunteers and countless people working together to create a successful organisation. Every person has a role to play, and every person matters.

That is why we at Bunyarra are incredibly proud to be partnering with the Perth Wildcats in the wellbeing space and contributing in our own way to supporting the people behind the organisation.

In a world that continues to move at an incredible pace, where people are constantly striving to perform at a high level, it is a privilege to see leaders within an organisation recognise the importance of wrapping genuine layers of support around their people.

Wellbeing is not something that should only be considered when things aren't going well. Creating an environment where people can access support, have conversations and know there are people in their corner is something that can make a difference every day.

A special thank you to Junz Junior and Sam Fotu for helping facilitate this opportunity, and to the entire Wildcats crew for welcoming Bunyarra with open arms.

We are looking forward to an exciting season ahead and feel incredibly privileged to play a small part in supporting such an amazing organisation.

Here’s to the season ahead, looking after our people and continuing to make a difference. ❤️

Domestic and family violence is not just a private issue. Its impact reaches into our workplaces, our families, our sporting clubs, our communities and the broader Australian society.

Every day, people can be carrying the impacts of domestic and family violence with them into the workplace. It can affect safety, concentration, relationships, attendance, performance and, most importantly, a person’s sense of wellbeing and security.

It is also something that communities cannot afford to ignore.

Creating workplaces where people feel safe to speak up, where leaders understand the signs, and where staff know how to respond appropriately can make a genuine difference.

It has been an absolute honour for the Bunyarra Wellbeing Co team to work alongside Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology on their domestic and family violence policy and to help deliver training to their staff around this important topic.

The willingness of organisations like Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology to have these conversations, strengthen their policies and equip their people with knowledge is an important step towards creating safer workplaces and stronger communities.

Domestic and family violence affects all of us.

The more we understand.
The more we notice.
The more confidently we respond.
The more opportunity we have to make a difference.

Thank you to Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology for recognising the importance of this work and for allowing us to be part of the journey.

There is something incredibly important about preparing young people for their first steps into the workforce.

Starting an apprenticeship, traineeship or first job is about more than learning the skills of a trade or understanding how to do the job. It is also about learning how to look after yourself while doing it.

Understanding workplace wellbeing, building a healthy work-life balance, recognising when stress is starting to build, knowing when to speak up, and being able to notice when someone around you might not be travelling so well are skills that can stay with a young person throughout their entire career.

The earlier we start these conversations, the better prepared our young people are to create workplaces where looking after each other is just as important as getting the job done.

A huge shout out and thank you to South Burnett Regional Council for inviting Bunyarra Wellbeing Co to work with their young people, trainees and apprentices.

We are incredibly proud to be part of helping the next generation understand that wellbeing belongs in the workplace from day one.

Because building a great career should never come at the expense of looking after yourself or the people around you.

Start the conversation early. Build the habits early. Look after each other.

Big projects are built on more than plans and equipment. They are built on people. Every successful project represents countless hours, unwavering commitment, and the sacrifices made by those who turn up each day to make it happen.

As the number of major projects continues to grow across Australia, it has been an incredible privilege for the Bunyarra Wellbeing Co team to be invited to support the people behind the work by prioritising their wellbeing.

Most recently, we had the opportunity to support the Stanwell Power Station outage alongside an outstanding team that embraced a positive, people first approach. That shared commitment created an environment where meaningful wellbeing support could make a genuine difference.

When we invest in the people who maintain our critical assets, we are investing in safer workplaces, stronger teams, and better outcomes for everyone. Looking after people is never separate from success. It is the foundation of it.

There’s something pretty special about living in a regional community.

Today, Bunyarra Wellbeing Co was proud to support the Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce Battle of the Businesses Golf Day, helping raise funds for the S.M.I.L.E. Initiative and the incredibly important work it does to support mental health and wellbeing across our community.

Representing Bunyarra today were our founder, Michael, and our youngest team member,and Michael's son,Hayden, who we are told did all the hard work, whilst Michael learnt golf is not his sport. Sharing days like this together is a reminder that community isn't just something we talk about; it's something we build, one generation at a time.

One of the greatest privileges of being from a regional town is seeing local businesses, organisations and individuals continually show up for one another. Whether it's through sponsorship, volunteering, fundraising or simply turning up, every contribution helps strengthen the place we all call home.

A huge thank you to the organisers for putting together another fantastic event, to the sponsors whose generosity makes days like this possible, and to every team and participant who came along to support such a meaningful cause.

Together, we're proving that when community comes together, we can create real change,not just on the golf course, but in the lives of those around us. 💙⛳

In high-performance sport, it's easy to become consumed by statistics, results and outcomes.

But behind every performance is a person.

Over the past week, I was reminded once again that our greatest impact isn't always made through tactics, game plans or performance reviews. It's made by being present. By listening. By creating spaces where athletes feel safe, valued and supported as people first.

When we invest in player wellbeing, we aren't taking away from performance—we're building the foundation for it. Athletes who feel connected, supported and mentally healthy are better equipped to learn, compete, lead and thrive. Performance is often the by-product of genuine wellbeing.

A huge thank you to Indigenous Basketball Australia for welcoming myself and the incredible team from Bunyarra Wellbeing Co back for our third consecutive year. It is a privilege to walk alongside such an inspiring organisation that continues to place equal importance on culture, connection and care.

Congratulations to both the Women's and Men's Indigenous All Stars on outstanding tournament victories. Your success on the court reflected not only your talent, but also the strength of your culture, unity and commitment to one another.

Thank you to every player, coach, support staff member and volunteer who made the week so special. We are honoured to play a small part in supporting your journey and look forward to continuing this partnership for years to come.

A big thank you to Stanwell for the story they did up on Bunyarra founder, Michael.

From his journey as a trainee in power gen, to medical challenges and overcoming adversity.

The story shapes who we are, why we do what we do, and motivates us to ensure no one struggles alone.
