R U OK? Know where to reach out when you need help.

R U OK? Day is a great reminder that we all could use some help sometimes. Whether you need support for a personal or health issue, or assistance with a work matter, knowing where you can turn makes life so much simpler.

ADAVB can support you in a number of ways, including through our:

• HR advisory service and hotline for help with industrial issues (ph: 1300 232 462) 
• Professional consultants for advice on professional and compliance matters, and Community Relations Officers who are on hand every day to offer dispute assistance – for members insured under the Branch Indemnity Scheme (ph: 8825 4600). 

Help is only a phone call away for members. And for more support, there are many publicly available options available, such as:

• Beyond Blue (ph: 1300 22 4636)
