Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds Foundation

Who is Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds?

Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds (HHTS) is a registered standalone Not for Profit (NFP) entity for the benefit of the broader supply chain industry as a whole with an independent industry and skills based board.

The overarching objective of HHTS is the creation of a single national mental health strategy for truck drivers, distribution and warehouse staff with the participation of smaller operators funded by the larger founding industry members. It is intended that HHTS remain in existence ad infinitum with majority industry funding and board representation as per its founding.

HHTS will be built on three key pillars, namely:

1. An increase in the number of people trained in mental health at transport and logistics facilities
2. Standardisation of policies and regulation at these facilities
3. Helping the individual be healthier from a diet and mental health perspective

In the absence of a collective national approach to tackle ‘driver and shed’ mental health, leading road transport operators including Woolworths, Coles, Linfox, Toll, Qube, and Ron Finemore have all combined in conjunction with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and Federal Government as founding members to fund the inception and development of the Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds (HHTS) initiative.
