There are more than 2 million small businesses in Australia employing 44% of our workforce. It goes without saying, small businesses are the backbone of our economy. On top of playing a major part in driving the economy, owners play a huge role in ensuring both they and their employees enjoy healthy, happy lives.

Our recent Mental Health Report revealed that this was one area where small business owners need more suport.

Did you know?

Nearly half of small business owners have experienced a mental health condition. But only 1 in 4 will actually seek help.

Juggling multiple responsibilities

 

No work life balance

 

As rewarding as it can be, running a small business also brings with it a range of challenges. This includes the stress of managing finances, no work-life balance, juggling multiple roles, and the feeling of responsibility for the success or failure of the business.

We want to make mental health everyone’s business

We’ve partnered with Smiling Mind to deliver a Small Business Program to support the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of small business owners.
