Adverse events
We're here to help and support during and following an adverse event.
We're directly linked into local Civil Defence and Rural Advisory Groups to provide information and assist you in getting emergency or on-going help. This may include movement of stock, financial and/or family support, labour or other needs during or following an adverse event. After an event we provide needs-based support to help your family, farm and community to recover.
How it works.
1
Give us a call
Reach out to us on our freephone number for an always 100% confidential chat. Our phone operators are trained professionals living in rural communities, who understand the challenges of rural living. They will triage your call and set you up with a face-to-face meeting with one of our team, at a location of your choice.

We'll come to your place
One of our facilitators will come to meet you at your place to assess the challenges you are facing. Based on this assessment we’ll be able to help you to get the immediate support you need, from the agencies involved in the response and recovery.

We'll connect you with needs based support
We’ll use our extensive local community connections to get you the on-going help you need to get your farming operation back on track. Whether it’s on-farm help to get back up and running, or financial, business or health-related support, we’ll be with you each step of the way.
