This Loneliness Awareness Week 3-9 August, let's 'Make Room for Connection' trackside. 🤝 Racing hours can be isolating, but small steps—like leaving a spare seat at breakfast or grabbing a coffee together—matter. Our ambassadors are always here for a chat.

[Racing NSW @racing_nsw]

Happy Birthday to the horses that inspire us every day 💙🏇

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

We check the feed and gear daily—but when did you last check on a mate? Racing has its highs and lows.
If you or someone you know is doing it tough, our ambassadors are always here for a confidential chat.
Share this post to remind your paddock to check in.

Passion drives this industry, but working 24/7 isn't a badge of honour. This month, give your mind a breather.
Disconnect from the stables for a few hours to reconnect with life outside the track. What is your favourite way to unwind? Tell us below!

From breeding sheds to winning posts, it takes a whole community to move NSW racing.
Social wellness is about leaning on your crew, sharing wins, and backing each other up.

The alarm goes off early, and racing days are long.
This Social Wellness Month, grab a cuppa with a workmate before the first trial and check in. A quick chat can completely reset a tough week. Tag a mate who makes early mornings brighter! ☕"

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

Early mornings and long days are the realities of trackwork. This Social Wellness Month, use your morning coffee break to check in on a mate before trials start. A simple chat can make all the difference to someone's week. 👉 Tag a mate who keeps you moving on the early shift! ☕

In racing, we’re all used to being tired—it comes with the 3:00 AM starts. But there’s a big difference between being tired and being burnt out. If 'pushing through' isn't working anymore, you've hit the wall. Talk to a mate today. #RacingMates #BurnoutAwareness #MensHealthWeek

This Men's Mental Health Month, we're checking in with Racing Mates Ambassador, Nick Olive. Nick knows that in this industry, there are plenty of variables we can't control. His advice? "Worrying about a situation will never change the outcome". #MensMentalHealth #NickOlive

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

Last week was Men's Mental Health Week. The challenge for our industry blokes: book that appointment. Whether it's a mental health or a physical check-in, don't treat your own mental health with less urgency than your horse's prep. #MensMentalHealth #RacingNSW #StableSupport

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

Checking your own form is as critical as checking a horse’s temperature 🌡️🐎 Don’t wait for a breakdown to see how you’re tracking. Use the ‘Daily Dash’ to monitor your wellbeing. #RacingMates #SelfMonitoring #PersonalForm #MentalHealthCheck

If one part of that engine starts to grind, the whole stable feels it. This Men’s Mental Health Month, Racing Mates is reminding everyone, trainers, jockeys, riders, and stablehands that your headspace needs as much maintenance as the athletes in your care. #RacingMates
