Mind Your Melon check in session

Join us for a relaxed “Mind Your Melon” check-in session – an opportunity to pause, connect, and have a real conversation about mental health.

These sessions are all about normalising talking about how we’re going, hearing honest stories from mental health champions, and taking a moment to check in with where your own mental health is at.

Johnathon Davey, known as Johno, is Chief Executive Officer of Melons Australia, the peak industry body representing Australia’s melon industry. He joined Melons Australia in 2021 as Executive Officer and became CEO in 2024, following seven years leading Seafood Industry Victoria. Across both industries, Johno has worked closely with growers, producers and industry members through periods of significant change, uncertainty and pressure.

Johno also brings personal experience of mental health challenges and an understanding of the importance of looking after ourselves and each other, particularly in industries where people can carry significant pressures behind the scenes.

For this Mind Your Melon check-in, Johno will share some of his own story and reflections on mental health before inviting the group to explore a practical tool together.

There’s no pressure to share—just a supportive space to listen, reflect, and connect with others.
