Supporting Farmers and Rural Communities

Mental Health and Wellbeing

Farming is tough. Mental health is critical for the sustainability of our communities.

Drought & Natural Disaster Support

Weather events like drought, bushfires, and floods can hit fast and hard — impacting not just crops and livestock, but families, finances, and futures. Accessing timely support can make all the difference.

  • Government grants and relief schemes
  • Emergency fodder, water and transport assistance
  • Financial counselling services
  • Health and relationship support
  • Farm business and debt mediation services
