Western Downs Regional Council, which covers the Queensland towns of Dalby, Miles, Chinchilla, Tara and various others in the district, has a program called MindMatters, which aims to support the mental health of its employees. Jenny and I have just enjoyed three days speaking to staff throughout the council area as part of this great initiative. Sam said," It was a privilege to play a small part in this great program and I'd like to congratulate the WDRC on prioritising the mental health of its staff. I'd also like to thank the staff for making Jenny and I feel so welcome."
