The relationship between working arrangements and well-being in regional coal-mining communities

我们的项目旨在通过全面检查澳大利亚煤矿社区的社会资本来加强澳大利亚的社会结构，并帮助预防心理健康问题。我们将这些目标与工作和就业安排（包括合同和工作时间），职业健康和安全以及心理健康的分析相结合。 在这次大规模的澳大利亚调查中，将探讨以前没有系统考虑过的群体问题，包括女矿工、长途通勤工人和矿工家庭。该项目通过解决煤炭行业面临的一些主要劳工问题，帮助加强澳大利亚的经济结构。

Our project aims to strengthen Australia's social fabric and help prevent psychological health problems by examining social capital in Australian coal mining communities in a holistic way. We integrate these aims with analysis of working and employment arrangements (including contracting and working hours), occupational health and safety and psychological well-being. Issues for groups that have not been systematically considered before including women miners, long distance commute workers and miners' families, are to be addressed in this large scale Australian survey. This project helps strengthen Australian economic fabric by tackling some major labour problems facing the coal industry.
