Farmers urged to reach out
As Farm Safety Week approaches, Australian rural charity, Rural Aid, is emphasizing the importance of farmer wellbeing and safety.
Rural Aid CEO John Warlters underscored the organisation’s commitment to supporting farmers through various challenges they face.
“Rural Aid’s mission is to stand with farmers when they need it most,” she said, encouraging farmers to register with Rural Aid to access crucial support from the organization and its dedicated donors.
The charity offers a range of assistance measures aimed at enhancing farmers’ lives and businesses, particularly during and after disaster events such as droughts, bushfires, and floods.
This includes mental health and wellbeing support, financial aid, water and fodder assistance, and Farm Recovery Events where volunteers help farmers with essential tasks post-disaster.
