A tradie from Huskisson, NSW, has been hailed a “champion” after the 23-year-old shared a 1-minute Facebook video offering Aussies help.

A tradie has been hailed a “champion” after he recorded a powerful message offering his help to those currently going through a tough time.

Jack Nile, from Huskisson on the NSW south coast, who runs his own gardening business,

had finished his last quote of the day when he pulled over to record a short, one-minute clip.

He told news.com.au he just wants fellow Aussies to know they’re not alone and if they ever need to vent, he’s free for a beer and a chat.

“Everyone should be able to talk without being judged,” Mr Nile said.

The 23-year-old had posted the clip to his Facebook group Elite Lawn & Garden Care last week which has already amassed nearly 6000 views.

“I just wanted to take a couple of minutes to say that if you’re going through a rough patch in your life, especially given the circumstances of people not being able to work and what not, you are not alone – you don’t have to bottle things up inside,” Mr Nile said in the video.

He said his number is posted all over social media and that his door is always open.

“I’ll always pick up the phone and have chat even if it’s not in regards to work and you want to vent to someone that you don’t actually have direct contact with,” he said.

“There is no judgment at all. Just give me a bell or send me a message and we can catch up for a beer or coffee.”

Mr Nile’s post was inundated with positive messages from followers thanking the young tradie for his kind words.

“You’re a champ,” one woman wrote.

“What a champion! My sister – avid gardener, alone in the Dandenong area in Victoria would just love your beautiful soul. Thank you for what you do and give. She’d probably even give you a beer!!” wrote another.

“The world needs more people like you!! Thanks for being you,” a third person added, while also thanked him for “always going above and beyond”.

Mr Nile said he wasn’t expecting his video to get such a huge reaction and just wants to help destigmatise that speaking up about your emotions and feelings means you’re “weak”.

“It’s not weak to speak,” he told news.com.au. “People need to get that mentality out of their heads.”

Mr Nile, who was in the army for four years, said even though men’s mental health is supported in the tradie industry, people still don’t speak up in fear of being teased.

“You should be able to talk to your mates and open up to your peers at work – there’ shouldn’t be any judgment.”

Since sharing his now viral video on Wednesday, Mr Nile said he has received hundreds of messages from people who have now built the courage to open up about their mental health battles.
