Healthy Heads Trucks & Sheds Partnership
Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds is a registered not-for-profit charitable Foundation, established to improve outcomes in areas relating to psychological safety and physical wellbeing, across the road transport, warehousing and logistics industries in Australia.
With a goal to provide everyone in the transport and logistics industries with what they need to support their mental health and physical wellbeing, and to ensure these needs are recognised as being vital to support a thriving workforce into tomorrow.
Rehab Management have been a Member of the Healthy Heads Trucks in Sheds (HHTS) initiative for the last year.
With synergies in Rehab Management’s values to deliver solutions to improve the health and wellbeing of our clients, we developed factsheets and e-learning modules to support the transport and logistics industry in both the Comcare self-insured customers as well as within the wider industry.
Managing Chronic Pain
Body stress from long haul driving, as well as the physical demands to complete work tasks, is well known. Musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain, are common. Chronic pain can impact all aspects of our lives – not just work, but also our home and social life.
The factsheet and e-learning modules provides some practical solutions on how to manage chronic pain.

Managing Relationships
We know that working long haul and long shift work, taking you away from your home, can be challenging. Being away from family and friends, as well as your usual leisure and social activities has been found to be something that many people find hard and can affect our overall health and wellbeing. Returning home from long runs and re-connecting with your home life and your relationships can be difficult.
The factsheet and e-learning module provides some tips on how to maintain connection with family, friends, work colleagues and your community.
