health & wellbeing
We provide free, one-on-one, face-to-face support at your place.
Our primary goal is to support rural people to heal and recover; and return to farming and family sooner rather than later.
Rural Support Trust Facilitators are trained to support and triage rural people who may be dealing with a range of challenges. We are here to assist you in a caring, confidential and compassionate manner.
How we help.

Rural people helping rural people
We're rural too. Rural Support Trusts are teamed with local, rural people from your community who understand the challenges that rural life presents.
One-on-one, face-to-face
We can come to you. We're locals in your community and ready to stop by for a chat at a place that suits you.
Providing access to professional service providers
We have relationships with an extensive network of rural professionals, who are each willing and able to help support the people in their community.
Finding the right fit
We care about connecting you with the right support for your particular situation. We have an extensive team and a network of professionals to ensure that you are connected with the right person.
Continuous support
One and done? That's not the rural way. We're by your side, as you need us, throughout your journey towards better health and wellbeing.
How it works.
