Drought Assistance and Mental Health 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 number of support services available if you need support.
