TIACS is a free phone and text counselling service offering mental health support to Australia’s blue collar community. TRADIES - TRUCKIES - RURAL - BLUE COLLAR
After launching their social enterprise, TradeMutt, founders Ed and Dan recognised the need to break down barriers preventing hardworking Australians from accessing professional mental health counselling. They created TIACS to provide free mental health support for the blue-collar community. Now operating for three years, TIACS offers free text and call services with qualified counsellors, removing physical and financial obstacles to getting help.

TradeMutt created tradie mental health shirts to open conversations about mental health for tradies, as research shows that blue-collar workers are at higher risk for mental health issues.
In Australia, tradie mental health statistics reveal that 1 in 5 tradies experience mental health challenges, and they are six times more likely to die by suicide than from a workplace accident. Addressing tradie mental health openly helps reduce stigma, encourages seeking support, and can lead to better overall well-being and safety for blue-collar workers.
