readthesigns is a joint initiative of MTAA Super and Lifeline Australia aimed at promoting help seeking and suicide prevention among the members of MTAA Super and employers in the retail motor trades and allied industries.

The readthesigns program was launched in September 2004, as a result of the Trustee’s concern at the numbers of suicide deaths among the Fund’s members. MTAA Super’s concern stemmed from statistics that indicated suicide accounts for 25% of deaths amongst young males aged 15-24 in Australia.
