The mental health of people living in our rural communities is one of the biggest health emergencies our state is facing.

Together we can do something to help.
Australians like Bernie, who runs a 2,400 hectare sheep farm in Victoria’s northwest, make great sacrifices to live and work in our most rural regions. They work long hours, in harsh environments, often spending many hours working alone.
Life’s tough enough. But right now, farmers like Bernie are really feeling the pressure.
Unpredictable weather and severe droughts, falling livestock prices and rising feed and fertiliser costs are heaping the pressure on our rural communities – and pushing many people to breaking point.
Donating today will enable us to reach out to more people like Bernie when they’re feeling overwhelmed and alone – by funding vital rural healthcare services like Flying Doctor Wellbeing.

“To be able to access these services is
life-changing, and it’s very important that we can do that. It’s been very important to me, and I’m sure it’s very important to other people.
Bernie, Flying Doctor Wellbeing patient
In Bernie’s opinion, rural Flying Doctor healthcare services in places like Harrow, aren’t just improving the health and wellbeing
of locals who would otherwise struggle to access such services – they are saving lives and communities.
Please donate today.
