Working at TDG

Since 10 September, our TDG calendar has been filled with small yet meaningful moments of connection. Across Australia and New Zealand, our teams showed up with openness and a genuine willingness to make a difference. From toolbox talks and team lunches to group walks and trivia, each depot and office found its own way to acknowledge World Suicide Prevention Day, R U OK? Day, World Mental Health Day– and beyond. We also officially launched TELUS Health during the month, providing employees and their immediate family members with 24/7 access to confidential mental health support, professional counselling, and a range of wellbeing tools and resources. As we wrap up Mental Wellness Month, let’s carry this momentum forward and continue making mental wellbeing part of our everyday practice. At TDG, we respect our people and support our minds.

Respect our People. Support our Minds. From 10 September to 10 October 2025, we’ll be recognising Mental Wellness Month- a time to raise awareness, reflect, and support one another. This month highlights important days including: World Suicide Prevention Day – 10 September, R U OK? Day – 11 September, World Mental Health Day – 10 October Each reminds us that simple acts- checking in, listening, and showing respect- can make a real difference. Mental Wellness Month is an opportunity for all of us to keep these conversations going, to look out for each other, and to help create communities where everyone feels valued and supported. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #RUOKDay #WorldMentalHealthDay

Connecting through community! Last month, our team had the privilege of visiting Cherbourg to take part in a local community celebration held during NAIDOC Week. As part of the day, we set up our CCTV van and VAC truck to demonstrate how our equipment works, answer questions, and engage with the community. For us, it wasn’t just about showcasing technology – it was about sharing knowledge, building trust, and being present. One of the most meaningful moments? Watching our team teach local kids how the equipment works, and lending a hand to help clean out a pump the community had been having issues with. We’re grateful to the Cherbourg community for welcoming us and allowing us to be part of the day. These moments remind us why we do what we do- because when we work together, we all benefit.

Connecting with Community at the KARI Aboriginal Education & Employment Expo⁠ ⁠ We’re proud of the career pathways we offer so it was a real success to connect with so many young people ready to take their next steps.⁠ ⁠ The event brought together organisations passionate about supporting Indigenous employment and education, and it was great to see familiar faces as well as meet like-minded businesses and future talent.⁠ ⁠ Representing TDG, Tyrone Dargan and Annette Stuccio welcomed over 50 students to our stand, sharing opportunities, stories, and a genuine excitement about what’s possible.

TDG Environmental was proud to be a Major Sponsor of one of Australia’s largest automotive events– the Australian Street Rod Federation (ASRF) Nationals– over Easter weekend in Bendigo!⁠ ⁠ With over 1,200 entrants and more than 10,000 visitors, we were on-site to ensure outstanding amenities for all attendees. Our team managed all toilet and shower pump-outs, with a dedicated liquid tanker and driver present throughout the event. ⁠ ⁠ We’re excited to contribute to the seamless experience of this fantastic event!

Thanks to our amazing TDG community, we collected 782 children’s books for the Aboriginal Literacy Foundation—their largest one-time donation ever!⁠ ⁠ Special thanks to ORIX for providing a van, and to Chris Feil & Halina Lojko, who delivered the books to founder Dr. Anthony Cree and his team in Ballarat. The books are now being sorted and will soon reach young readers, including those in remote NT communities.⁠ ⁠ Helping to improve literacy is just one way we’re supporting regional Indigenous communities in Australia, and we’re proud to support such an important cause!

We were thrilled to sponsor the Grand Final winners of the 2024 First Nations Indigenous Football Cup! Initiated by Keifer Dotti from our Sydney Water division, we were honoured to receive a signed jersey and traditional spears from Keifer, his dad, manager, and coach at the end of last year.⁠ ⁠ Regardless of the result, we’re proud to support Indigenous communities and be part of such a meaningful experience with the Wynnum Wolves! @wynnumwolvesfc

We’re proud to continue our long-term and vital support of Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter again this year. With 27,400 rescues since 1970, it’s a truly important service operating 24/7, covering from Te Hana in the North, down to Waihi in the South where 1/3 of NZ’s population live. ⁠ ⁠ Keep up the good work @westpacrescueauckland
