SYDNEY, Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a move to support the conversation around mental health in Australia's supply chain, Geotab Inc. (“Geotab”), a global leader in connected vehicle and asset solutions, has joined forces with Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (Healthy Heads) as a Premier Partner. The collaboration aims to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of the individuals who power the nation's vital transport, warehousing, and logistics sectors.
Established in 2020 by industry giants including Australia Post, Woolworths, Toll, Linfox, and Coles, Healthy Heads is a leading not-for-profit foundation committed to delivering national resources, programs, and advocacy. Their mission is to build a more resilient and sustainable industry.
“Driver safety and well-being is at the core of Geotab’s mission, we recognize that individuals working in this sector face numerous challenges that impact their wellbeing,” said Sean Killen, Vice President of Global Markets, Geotab. “In the future, I believe the use of technology can help support the Australian trucking community by using advances in AI to help predict problems before they arise.

We are proud to support Healthy Heads, together we can bring visibility to mental health and wellbeing, making it an ongoing priority across the industry.”
A recent survey completed by Geotab found that 68% of drivers reported work related stress had a negative impact on their driving performance, 78% noted mental health contributes to road dangers and 34% have considered quitting their jobs in the past year https://www.geotab.com/assets/ebook/driver-stress-safety-retention/
