Mining Family Matters aims to break down the barriers of isolation and the stresses of living away from family and friends. Although we provide general advice from a psychologist and social worker, our website content should never be regarded as a substitute for professional health services or crisis services. Likewise, information supplied in our Q&As should not be treated as a substitute for professional medical advice on to a specific medical condition or question. Always speak to your doctor or specialist provider for advice on a specific medical condition. If you are depressed and require urgent assistance, contact Lifeline on 131 114 (for calls within Australia).

Additional listings, information and links to other websites are also intended for general use. Although we link to providers, products and services that we personally like, Mining Family Matters can naturally assume no responsibility for the information provided and disclaims all liability with respect to such information. Mining Family Matters is not liable for any injury, loss or damage that might arise through use of this website.

Our website also contains advertising from other providers of products and services not related to Mining Family Matters. Although we personally like these products, we cannot guarantee or officially endorse them and do not warrant that any specific product or service is fit for its intended use, is accurate or of quality or value. We recommend that you exercise all necessary caution and investigate fully for yourself any product or service listed or advertised.
