Mō mātou | About Us

OnTrack was born out of a collective effort across the three racing codes to address mental health challenges within its workforce.  Recognising the pressures of long hours, financial stress, and high expectations, OnTrack was developed as a mental health and suicide prevention programme tailored specifically for the racing community.  The programme was developed through extensive industry consultation, to shape the programme and build ownership.

OnTrack provides practical tools like training programmes, peer support networks, and suicide prevention courses.  We also feature an accreditation system that encourages workplaces to commit to mental well-being, offering measurable benchmarks for progress.  Our field-based team ensures that support is available where it’s most needed—at race meetings, stables and events.

Our long-term goals include normalising mental health conversations in the workplace and establishing New Zealand as a leader in workforce well-being and suicide prevention.  With backing from key stakeholders and funding partners, OnTrack is set to continue its work, contributing not only to improved mental health outcomes but also to greater workforce sustainability and productivity in the racing industry.
