Congratulations to our miners
We are deeply humbled and proud of what our Miners achieved - both on the trek and through the extraordinary funds raised. Our heartfelt thanks go to our amazing Miners, our Event Partners, and to you, our generous donors. We couldn’t do this without you – thank you.
Mental health challenges can be a barrier to employment for young people, yet finding meaningful employment can be one of the most effective preventative factors in staying mentally well.
At Youth Focus, we provide young people with tailored, one-on-one support to help young people reach their work and study goals, equipping them with the tools, resources, and opportunities to thrive.

For over 30 years, Youth Focus has been providing mental health counselling and support services to young people aged between 12-25 years old, making a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of families. In 2023/2024 Youth Focus supported 3,707 young people with 22,290 occasions of service.
Youth Focus is the only non-government youth specialist mental health service in Western Australia that offers young people early intervention mental health counselling and support, without referral and at no cost to them or their families.
"At Youth Focus we are on a mission. We want a world where mental health challenges don’t get in the way of young people being who they want to be. A world where there is someone to help when a young person is brave enough to put their hand up to ask for it – whenever they need it, without having to wait and without having to pay for the support they need" – Derry Simpson Youth Focus CEO
In August, a group of dedicated miners are embarking on a unique fundraiser to support youth mental health.
Venturing into the rugged Australian bush, these miners are not just seeking to prove their mettle but are also aiming to raise vital funds for Youth Focus, to enable us to provide support services to young Western Australians.
