r u ok? DAY - September 10, 2026

A national reminder that a genuine conversation can be the first step in helping someone through a hard time.

- A conversation worth having

R U OK? Day is the reminder; living it is our daily culture.

This September, we're asking everyone across the business — team leads, solo night-shift workers, office staff — to take a moment and check in with someone. Ask, listen, point them to support if needed, and follow up. It doesn't take grand gestures — just small, everyday moments where someone feels noticed. That's the workplace we want Cipher to be, every day, not just on a single day.
If you're finding things tough, please know that support is always close by — through your manager, a trusted colleague or call Lifeline at 13 11 14.

Why R U OK? Day matters at Cipher Solutions

Why It hits close to home

Our teams clean and restore spaces long after most people have packed up for the day—working independently, across quiet sites, and outside standard hours. That quiet can easily turn into isolation. In this line of work, it is simple for someone to look fine on the surface while carrying a heavy load alone.
R U OK? Day matters because it forces us to pause and look closer. When you spend much of your shift working solo, a simple, intentional check-in isn't just polite—it's a lifeline.

What is Cipher doing

  • We are turning a one-day reminder into how we operate every day: - Real Conversations: Using toolbox talks and team stand-ups to ask the second question: "How are you, really?" - Visible Support: Ensuring mental health resources and contacts are easy to find across all our sites, not buried in an intranet. - Low-Pressure Connection: Making space for simple, regular coffee catch-ups to stay tethered to one another.
This isn’t about ticking a compliance box once a year. It’s about building a culture where no one on our team ever has to struggle in silence.
