BE THE VOICE – FOR YOU, YOUR MATES
AND THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

The MATES 2025 Industry Well-being Survey, Supported by ASB,
is your chance to be heard and help shape change across construction

MATES in Construction runs a Well-being Survey every two years to better understand the mental health and well-being of workers in our industry.

This Survey helps us identify which groups are doing it tough and what’s contributing to that, so we can make sure our trainings and supports are focused on what is most important for you and your mates.

Taking part in the survey and having a voice benefits workers directly. What you share helps improve mental health support on sites, shapes how employers and the industry responds to stress, and influences government decisions that affect the construction workforce.

The survey takes roughly 10-12 minutes to complete. Your answers are completely confidential, meaning they won’t identify you and your answers will be combined with responses from others.

All participants can choose to go in the draw to win either a $200 supermarket voucher (three to be won) or $100 prezzy card (four to be won).

Please submit your response by 5PM, July 20, 2025.

CONTENT ADVISORY: This survey asks questions about mental health and suicide which can be upsetting. If you or anyone you know needs help, please call the MATES 24/7 Helpline : 0800 111 315. Lifeline Aotearoa is also available on 0800 543 354.

TAKE THE SURVEY TODAY – 7 TRANSLATIONS AVAILABLE

The Survey is available in 7 languages – English, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Samoan, Tagalog, Te Reo Māori and Tongan. Please take the survey in the language most comfortable for you.
