Story
Dear Friends,
Last week we received the heartbreaking news that a beloved father, husband, brother, and son passed away unexpectedly. We are forever changed by the loss of Matthew, a close friend and colleague to many of us. Matthew was a light in the lives of each person he met and reminds us all to cherish every day and every moment we spend with our loved ones.
Suicide is the leading cause of death among people in Australia aged 15-44. 1 in 5 of us will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year. In Australia that’s around 5 million people. And roughly 50% of these people won’t seek help.
On behalf of Matthew’s family, we would like to help raise money for an important cause that is dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental health challenges - Black Dog Institute (www.blackdoginstitute.org.au). Funds raised will enable Black Dog Institute to develop practical evidence-based resources that provide individuals, workplaces, schools, parents and health professionals with the tools they need to cope in the face of uncertainty.
Black Dog Institute is registered with the ATO as a Deductible Gift Recipient. All donations to Black Dog Instibute over $2 are tax deductible in Australia. In addition, all permanent employees (full-time and part-time) across the Westpac Group are able to take part in the Matching Gifts Program. Refer to the Matching Gifts policy for details (https://intranet.westpacgroup.com.au/wbg/about-us/westpac-group/our-sustainability/getinvolved/donate).

to reduce the overall impact of mental illness and save lives.
