Planning a Truck Week event doesn’t need to be complex – and for businesses looking to focus on people and wellbeing, a new industry resource provides a clear, practical starting point.
The Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds Event Kit is now available, offering a free, ready-to-use template for running meaningful workplace wellbeing activities during Truck Week 2026.
A natural fit for Truck Week
Truck Week is built around simple, authentic activities that reflect the everyday realities of our industry. The Healthy Heads Event Kit aligns closely with this approach, supporting events that are practical, flexible and easy to tailor – whether you’re a small team, a large organisation, or something in between.
The kit supports a wide range of event formats, including:
- Short toolbox talks or team check-ins
- Morning teas or informal discussions
- Structured workshops or half-day sessions
- Stand-alone wellbeing activities held during Truck Week
Activities can be scaled up or down to suit your workplace, your people and your schedule.
Supporting R U OK in Trucks & Sheds Day – 12 May
A key moment during Truck Week is R U OK in Trucks & Sheds Day on 12 May, which encourages conversations about mental health and looking out for one another across the heavy vehicle industry.
The Healthy Heads Event Kit provides a practical framework for businesses wanting to take part – helping leaders and teams feel more confident starting conversations, creating supportive environments, and encouraging respectful, meaningful engagement.
Whether you’re planning a brief conversation with your team or a more structured activity, the kit offers clear, step-by-step guidance to help make it work in your context.
What’s inside the Event Kit
The Healthy Heads Event Kit includes:
- Guidance for planning and running a workplace wellbeing event
- Ready-to-use activities and discussion prompts
- Practical tips for creating a supportive environment
- Flexible options that suit different workplaces and cultures
The emphasis is on conversations and connection — not formal presentations or training sessions.
Registering your event
Truck Week event registration is now open, and all events are encouraged to be added to the national calendar — including private, internal or invite-only activities.
Registering your event helps build a picture of how Truck Week is being marked across the country, even where activities are held behind the scenes or within individual workplaces. Public promotion is optional; events can be listed as private while still contributing to the overall Truck Week story.
Wellbeing activities using the Healthy Heads Event Kit may be run directly by businesses or supported by industry partners. As with all Truck Week events, participation is voluntary, non-promotional and people-focused.
Get started
The Healthy Heads Event Kit is free to access and available now.
If you’re planning a Truck Week activity – particularly for R U OK in Trucks & Sheds Day on 12 May – the kit provides a practical, industry-backed template to get started.
