As Truck Week celebrates the people who keep Australia moving, Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds and R U OK? are reminding the industry that looking after each other starts with a simple conversation.
On Tuesday, 12 May 2026, the transport, warehousing and logistics sector will unite for the R U OK? in Trucks & Sheds Day of Action, launching this year’s message: Ask R U OK? Any Day.
The message is a natural fit for Truck Week: supporting a colleague is not a once-a-year activity. It is something we can do any day, on any shift, in any depot, yard, warehouse or cab.
Healthy Heads CEO Naomi Frauenfelder said embedding everyday conversations into workplace culture is key to prevention.
“When leaders and peers consistently ask, listen, encourage action and check back in, we create safer and more connected workplaces. In an industry that keeps Australia moving, we must also look after the people who keep it moving.”
