WA Mining Conference and Exhibition is partnering with Lifeline WA for its 2025 iteration to highlight the event’s commitment to fostering safer, supportive workplaces.
Through the partnership, Lifeline WA will be actively involved at the event and will showcase its Resourceful Mind Program, a peer support initiative dedicated to strengthening mental health and resilience in high-pressure industries, including mining, energy, and oil and gas.
Developed in partnership with The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia (CME WA), Resourceful Mind was created to equip site-based and remote workers with practical tools to support one another, reduce stigma and respond confidently to mental health challenges.
CEO of Lifeline WA, Lorna MacGregor said that since its launch in 2021, the program has trained more than 500 peer supporters across 30 organisations.
“Programs like Resourceful Mind are designed not just for individuals, but for the communities around them: the families, friends, and peers who often provide the first line of support. Everyone connected to the sector has a role to play.

“Through our partnership and programs like Resourceful Mind, we provide training, resources, and ongoing guidance for workers who want to look after each other on site,” MacGregor said.
As part of the partnership, Lifeline WA will be present at WA Mining, offering delegatesan opportunity to engage directly with the team.
The charity will also take part in WA Mining’s conference program and will provide valuable insights into the state of mental health within the sector and the importance of mental health awareness, prevention, and support services across the industry.
“Lifeline WA brings that vision to life, delivering targeted programs that help teams foster connection, confidence, and care in even the most isolated or high stress environments,” general manager of Events at Prime Creative Media Siobhan Rocks said.
“Lifeline WA is doing essential work that speaks directly to the needs of our sector. Their approach to mental health aligns perfectly with our mission to support the people driving this industry forward.”
