Healthy Heads has launched a new language program for those in the transport and logistics sectors
In its weekly newsletter, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) says Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (HHTS) has launched industry-tailored wellbeing resources that have been translated into eight of the most commonly spoken languages other than English in the Australian road transport, warehousing, and logistics sector.
The rollout of English as a Second Language (EaSeL) resources is about making information on looking after our wellbeing more accessible and more easily understood for different cultural groups working across the industry.
NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto says providing greater access to mental health resources was particularly important as the transport industry prepares to enter the busiest time of the year.
“I encourage everyone in the sector to use the EaSeL resources developed by HHTS and prioritise their mental health and wellbeing this holiday season,” Petroccitto says.

EaSeL has been made freely available to industry via the HHTS website, and includes an informative animation, and supporting resources including flyers and a range of posters that are specifically aimed at providing an opportunity for people to consume the information in their own time.
This project was proudly funded by the NHVR’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, in partnership with the federal government.
