01 / WHY I’M ALL EARS MATE
The support exists.
Help your people
take the first step.
A poster can start the conversation. Your people keep it going.
For safety leaders, wellbeing teams and site managers, IAEM brings a practical rhythm to workplace check-ins: visible reminders, crew champions and a shared way to ask, listen and follow up.
We work with your site leaders, HSRs and workforce to fit the approach to your people. It sits alongside your existing safety systems, peer support and EAP.

“You’ve been a bit quiet lately. You right?”
Pick a normal moment, away from noise and an audience. Mention what you’ve noticed, then ask straight.
The Chinwag Method is Yeah Mate’s own adaptation, informed by the R U OK? conversation model. IAEM is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by R U OK?.
03 / WHAT YOUR WORKPLACE GETS
Built for your site.
With you all year.
Agree the scope together, then put it into practice.
Eight practical components, organised into four groups.
From the first
CONSISTENT NATIONALLY. SHAPED SITE BY SITE.
01 Start with your people
Leadership alignment + site-fit discovery. Agree the purpose, boundaries and responsibilities. Listen to site leaders, HSRs and the people closest to the work.
02 Give the message a home
Activation kit + Chinwag Method. Posters, stickers, QR touchpoints and launch assets make checking in visible. The four-step method gives every conversation a practical starting point.
03 Keep the habit going
Chinwag Champions + monthly prompts. Crew mates who listen and know when to bring in extra support, with fresh reminders that keep the message alive.
04 Listen, learn, improve
IAEM Pulse + review and recognition. Short workforce check-ins explore adoption and confidence. Annual review and a refresh plan shape what happens next. Privacy and participation are agreed before activation.

FAIR QUESTIONS
Let’s clear
a few things up.
Is IAEM a mental health service?
No. IAEM is a workplace culture and check-in framework. It isn’t therapy, diagnosis, crisis support or a replacement for qualified care, your EAP or your safety systems.
We already have a wellbeing program. Does this fit?
Yes. IAEM is designed to sit alongside existing programs. The focus is making everyday check-ins visible, normal and easy, with clear pathways into the support you already have.
Can it work across different sites?
The framework provides a shared national direction, while each site shapes the language, assets, timing and touchpoints around its own workforce.
How is the investment structured?
Scope first, cost second. The structure combines an annual framework licence, agreed site activation support and optional extras. The mix is worked out together around what your workplace needs.
