The Gold Industry Group (GIG) collaborated with Gold Fields, LIVIN, Australian Earth Science Education and Netball WA, to bring viewers a glimpse of the industry’s commitment to community to life through a captivating new TV advertisement and connecting video stories.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and there has never been a year in our lifetimes when this is more vital than now. The Gold Industry Group’s community partner, mental health charity LIVIN, have adapted to the impacts of COVID-19 by now providing their essential mental health support program online.
In a time where isolation is the norm, it’s important we explore new ways to support and connect with our colleagues, friends and family. As novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) presents us all an unprecedented challenge, it is also bringing us together as we work to stop the spread and keep each other safe.
While in self-isolation, there is no more important time to maintain habits that help us cope but also implement new routines to ensure we stay connected and practice self-care.
The Gold Industry Group (GIG) is proud to be the Industry Partner of the ninth annual Mining and Emergency Response Competition, held in Perth from 22 to 24 November 2019.
The GIG will provide two free mental health workshops, courtesy of community partner LIVIN, to almost 200 emergency response personnel, event marshals and volunteers.
As proud Platinum Sponsor of LIVIN WA’s annual charity ball, the Gold Industry Group joined representatives from Newmont Goldcorp Australia, Gold Fields, Newcrest Mining and Gold Road Resources to raise awareness and funds for mental health.
The ‘unmasked’ theme encouraged the hundreds of attendees to break the stigma around mental illness.
The Gold Industry Group (GIG)’s recent mental health tour with charity LIVIN is being hailed a success after more than 40 stigma breaking workshops were delivered across Australia reaching more than 1,200 gold industry workers, locals and students.
As a result of the resounding positive feedback from attendees, the tour has been extended with more workshops to be delivered at gold mine sites in June and a school tour is being explored for 2020.
The Gold Industry Group in partnership with not-for-profit LIVIN will commence a national tour next month to bring LIVINWell workshops to member offices, mine sites, schools and the wider community across Australia, in an effort to help break the stigma traditionally associated with mental illness.
To coincide with Mental Health Week, our community partner LIVIN were proud to design, implement and unveil the first of their billboards in an awareness campaign across Central and Northern Queensland.
Released across several locations, the first eight billboards are part of LIVIN’s commitment to spread mental health awareness throughout areas which don’t necessarily have the same access to resources that are available in capital cities.
