WLF Joins Forces with CBA Hobart at The Mind Games to Champion Workplace Mental Health

Two of WLF’s leaders, Director James Watson and Manager James Day, joined forces with colleagues from CBA Hobart’s Business Banking Team in a team called the “Amortizators” at The Mind Games, Tasmania’s
ultimate corporate challenge promoting mental health awareness and research. 

Held at Princes Wharf No. 1 in Hobart, The Mind Games is a high-energy event where 50 corporate teams of five compete in 10 creative, problem-solving challenges designed to test teamwork, communication, and ingenuity rather than physical fitness. The initiative raises vital funds for the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, supporting groundbreaking workplace mental health research and helping to create healthier, happier workplaces across Tasmania and beyond. Beyond the challenges, the event fosters networking and reinforces the importance of mental health in the workplace, a cause WLF is proud to support. 

‘The Mind Games was a great way to connect with others while supporting an important cause. Mental health impacts every workplace, and events like this remind us how vital it is to keep things in perspective and get involved in events such as this’ James Watson 

Why it matters: 

One in five Australians experience mental illness each year, and workplace culture plays a vital role in both prevention and recovery. By encouraging our leaders to participate in The Mind Games, we are demonstrating our ongoing commitment to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported and has a true sense of belonging – so their mental health can thrive. Through the Mind Games we’re not only investing in our people but also making a tangible difference to the wider community.
