Drought Support

Staying healthy and well is important in good times and trying times. Drought, flood, bushfires and change in prices can be a trying time for many farmers. The times when we least feel like looking after ourselves are when we need to do it the most.

The National Centre for Farmer Health have a Support Hub available which brings together a range of resources and information tailored for farmers and agricultural communities. You can find information on emotional and social wellbeing support, emergency and climate management, and farm business support service resources.

Check out the National Centre for Farmer Health here.

You can also access rural financial counselling with RFCS South West. Visit their website for more information.
