ABOUT US
Racing Mates is a peer support initiative established by Racing NSW, empowering mates to look out for mates.
Research has found that effective support offered from peers and colleagues can aid significantly in coping with stress and difficult situations.
Having access to Clinical Psychologists, Counsellors and Assistance Hotlines is essential and these services are available. However, people are often more likely to initially reach out to a trusted peer or colleague for support. The Ambassadors will not provide specialised counselling; rather they are available as a port of call when industry participants are in need of a mate.
The Ambassadors possess a wealth of industry knowledge allowing them to relate to multifaceted concerns people may be experiencing. Industry specific expertise combined with accredited training ensures Ambassadors can provide a crucial link between those in need and the required support.
HOW WE SERVE
We're here to lighten your load and be your community.
Support When You Need It
We know that when you're stressed or facing tough times, talking to someone you trust can really help. That's why, in addition to having access to professional help like psychologists and counsellors, we have Ambassadors ready to listen and lend a hand. They're here for you when you need to talk.
Knowledge and Understanding
Our Ambassadors aren't just good listeners—they know the ins and outs of our industry. They understand the specific challenges you might be dealing with and are ready to support you through them.
