CRE PUSHES FOR BETTER
99,210 Push-Ups. $3,000 Raised. One Important Conversation.
At CRE, we spend our days delivering complex infrastructure projects where safety, wellbeing and looking after one another are non-negotiable.
This June, that commitment extended beyond our worksites. Thirty members of the CRE team took part in the Push-Up Challenge, collectively completing an incredible 99,210 push-ups and raising more than $3,000 for mental health awareness and support services.
The challenge wasn't simply about fitness.
Every push-up represented one of the 3,307 Australians who lost their life to suicide in 2024. Every day brought new conversations, new awareness and a reminder that mental health affects every workplace, every family and every community. Across our offices, project sites and homes, team members encouraged each other, shared progress, pushed through sore shoulders and celebrated milestones together. Some participants completed every push-up themselves, Others adapted with alternative exercises. What mattered most was showing up, supporting each other and contributing to a cause bigger than ourselves.
The challenge created something powerful inside the business, It opened conversations that might not otherwise have happened. It reminded us that strength isn't only measured by what we can lift, build or deliver. Sometimes it is measured by our willingness to check in on a mate, ask for help or support someone who is doing it tough.
As a company, we are proud of the funds raised but we are even prouder of the culture it represents. At CRE, we believe building stronger communities starts with building stronger connections between people. The Push-Up Challenge was a small reminder that when a team comes together behind a common purpose, the impact extends far beyond the numbers.
99,210 push-ups.
$3,000 raised.
30 people making a difference.
Because pushing for better mental health is a challenge worth taking on.
