He has also worked on film sets that include Mad Max, The Matrix, Superman Returns, Wolverine and Baz Luhrmann&#x27;s Moulin Rouge and Australia. Bartley&#x27;s interest in helping production crew and their families comes from experiencing first-hand the physical and psychological challenges for both crew and their families of working long hours in the entertainment industry, and now, as a health care practitioner, treating resulting issues such as chronic fatigue, insomnia, depression, anxiety that have arisen from long years on the job, poor lifestyle choices, isolation, venue closures and job losses. www.sevenwayshealthcentre.com.auAbout Addi Road and CrewCare:Based on a nine-acre heritage site in the heart of Marrickville, Addi Road is an independent, multicutural and grassroots community centre with a long history of social justice, anti-discrimination and support for arts and culture. This year Addison Road Community Organisation has provided food relief boxes for up to 60 different charity organisations and community groups, feeding up to 5,000 people a week, whilst diverting 20 tonnes per month of good food from going into landfill. CrewCare is an organisation of entertainment industry professionals who aim to improve the care for all technical and backstage personnel and their loved ones, and those who work and have worked in the Australian live music and entertainment scenes. Due to physical incapacity, poverty, mental illness, decreased demand and a changing workplace, Australian road crew members are four to five times more likely to take their own lives than other Australians.
