OjiFS Supporting R U Ok?Day in Australia

Today is R U OK?Day in Australia and OjiFS is right behind it, encouraging our people to start a conversation that could change a life today, tomorrow and any day it’s needed. Our people matter and supporting wellness, this year more than ever, is our priority. 

At all OjiFS sites in Australia, we've got R U OK? posters on display, held face-to-face and online meetings in support of R U OK?Day, provided our people (including those in lockdown working from home) with resources and care packs complete with cookies and magnets.

Tips from R U OK? Ambassador Lisa Nichols

“My tip for anyone who might want to start an R U OK? conversation is to just do it. Take a deep breath and ask the question. You don’t need to have all the answers. Just letting that person know that you care and that they are worthy or being cared about is sometimes enough. Have the Lifeline and Mental Health Line numbers stored in your phone or wallet, in case you feel it’s out of your depth, but most importantly just listen and be there for that person.”
