If you’re between 15 and 25 and you’re working or looking for work – firstly, good on you for getting out there, and secondly, take a moment to think about how to keep the pressure off, stay on track and in control of your mental health.
Knowing the facts around injury rates, your rights at work, and types of support services can mean the difference between a rough start and a smooth one (so don’t brain dump all of the below!).
The stats:
  • In the three years between 2011/12 and 2013/14, over 45,000 young workers aged between 15 and 24 years old were hurt at work in NSW.
  • For 15-19 year olds injury rates could be six times higher because young workers often don’t report work injuries.
  • 18-24 year olds have a higher prevalence of mental illness than any other age group.
    If you’re going to get a lifelong mental illness, 50% of illnesses will start before 14 years of age.
  • When you’re young (up to your mid-20s), your still-developing brain means you’re also more vulnerable to mental illness.
  • If you get injured at work the likelihood of mental illness increases.
  • Here’s another downer: young people are also at a higher risk of getting hurt at work.
