Airport Development Group (ADG) proudly supports R U OK? Day by creating an entire R U OK? Week!

 “Mental health and well-being are critical, and while R U OK? Day is a great reminder to check in with those around us, we’ve extended it to a full week of activities. This allows us to further highlight the importance of meaningful conversations and to give everyone more opportunities to connect and support one another.”

This week-long initiative, launched by ADG, showcases our range of mental health and well-being support programs, emphasising that one day simply isn't enough. We’re dedicated to fostering a culture of care, connection, and support across our team and beyond.

Over the course of the week, ADG will host a series of sessions focused on mindfulness, our employee assistance program, exercise and a Mind Your Paws visit with
Therapy Dogs Australia.

Sandra De Kock
, Executive General Manager People, Culture and Community, shares, “Mental health and well-being are critical, and while R U OK? Day is a great reminder to check in with those around us, we’ve extended it to a full week of activities. This allows us to further highlight the importance of meaningful conversations and to give everyone more opportunities to connect and support one another.”

Let’s make this week count by reaching out, starting a conversation, and making a positive impact. Because at ADG, every day is a chance to check in and care for each other.
