Rail R U OK?

No qualifications needed

SAVE THE DATE: 18 April 2024

Our Rail R U OK? theme ‘No qualifications needed’ empowers workers in the rail industry to have the confidence to ask “are you OK?”, to know what to say when a workmate says they’re not OK, and provide guidance on how to keep the conversation on track.

You don’t have to be an expert when someone says they’re not OK.

By knowing what to say you can help a workmate feel supported and access help long before they’re in crisis, which can make a positive difference in their life.

Rail R U OK? activities are an opportunity to show workmates that they can make a real difference to someone who’s having a tough time by having a meaningful conversation.

To ensure you’re kept up to date, register your event.
