How It Works

How TIACS Works

TIACS is a professional mental health counselling service for tradies, truckies, farmers and blue collar workers.

After successfully launching their social enterprise workwear company TradeMutt, founders Ed and Dan saw a great need to remove the barriers that prevented hard working Australians from accessing professional mental health counselling.

TIACS removes the physical and financial barriers to accessing help through a simple text and call service directly to professional counsellors.

TIACS is not a crisis support service…

There are other great services that help with one off support. We provide counselling that aims to support your mental wellbeing for the long term. We provide up to 8 free sessions via text or call with the same counsellor

Text or call

Whether you would like to talk on the phone or find it easier to text, we can do both.

Match up

Match up with a counsellor that best suits your needs and talk to the same counsellor each time

Free and confidential

There are no costs involved - TIACS is free and you can remain completely anonymous

We care

We care about your experience and ensuring that you receive the highest quality care

Who can use this service?

TIACS provides professional mental health counselling to Australia’s blue collar community. TIACS also provides counselling services to anyone who may be a carer, friend or loved one of a blue collar worker who is doing it tough.

Don’t meet the above criteria? Not to worry, at TIACS we won’t turn anyone away. You could still be eligible to receive up to 2 counselling sessions where we provide information and resources and connect people to the right service they may need.

What is Blue Collar?

Blue Collar is a term relating to people who typically work in jobs that require manual labour like: Construction; Agriculture, Forestry & Fishing; Mining; Manufacturing; Electricity, Gas, Water, Waste Services; Transport, Postal & Warehousing.
