Getting back on the road after PTSD

Andrew Mifsud has been driving trucks for more than 30 years, but nothing could prepare him for the impact of witnessing a serious road accident, which resulted in the death of a young woman.

The psychological impact of witnessing this traumatic incident were enormous and Andrew was diagnosed with PTSD.

“Andrew has worked so hard to recover. With the strong support of his family, psychologist and employer, he has returned to work as a truck driver trainer” Kathy Anderson – Senior Case Manager, EML VIC

Andrew’s perseverance to recover and return to work was recognised through being awarded joint winner of the 2023 Worker Return to Work Achievement Award, presented by WorkSafe Victoria.
