Farmer Wellbeing Report
New research shines a light on Australian farmer mental health with saddening statistics around self-harm and suicide, sparking calls for government support and industry-wide collaboration to create farmer-to-farmer support networks across the country.
If you’re doing it tough, don’t go it alone
While one in five Australians experience a mental illness every year, unfortunately, many do not seek help.
There are growing issues in Australia with access to services for a number of reasons including a lack of awareness, financial and geographical barriers, as well as limited access to quality services. This partnership aims to increase Australian’s access to the free mental health and wellbeing tools developed by Black Dog Institute.
While farmers are resilient, prolonged exposure to adversity may create feelings of isolation, anger or despondence. It’s important to know that support is available by someone who understands as a farmer themselves.
