More than a BBQ, it’s mates looking out for mates. 

​

Racing Mates community BBQs are about bringing the racing industry together in a relaxed and welcoming environment where people can connect, check in and support one another.

​

Whether you are dealing with stress, financial pressure, burnout, mental health struggles, family challenges, injury, isolation or simply feeling overwhelmed. You do not have to carry it alone. In racing, there has long been a culture of “just tough it out,” but Racing Mates is helping change that conversation.

​

It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to ask for help.

​

From trainers and jockeys to stable staff, track riders and racing participants across NSW, Racing Mates is here to remind everyone that support is available, conversations matter, and seeking help is a sign of strength not weakness.

​

Because no matter what you are facing, there is always a mate ready to listen.
