Kirstin Pincott – Director and clinician

I am a Social Worker with a background in mental health, alcohol and other drugs, palliative care and health care social work. I was previously an accredited lead facilitator for the Vicroads Safe Driving Program, and am currently an accredited member of the Australian Association of Social Workers.

I have been training truck drivers since the beginning of 2017, focusing on the effects that fatigue and recreational drug and alcohol use can have on driving behaviours, as well as on the way our brains work and how to maintain focus on a long haul drive.

I also provide tailored mental health support and education to the heavy vehicle and logging industries, to assist to deal with increased stress and industry change. 

I work in strong collaboration with Alan Pincott of ATSSS, often combining our skillsets to deliver a comprehensive training package involving the external factors such as road conditions and changes in load, and the internal factors such as fatigue and concentration that influence truck rollovers and crashes.
