National Centre for Farmer Health - Campfire Farmer Health

Discover the importance of farmer health checks in our latest podcast! Join Simon Green, a farmer at Elmhurst, as he shares his firsthand experience with health checks and the benefits he discovered. Also hear from agrihealth professional Rosi Bear how she empowers farmers with knowledge to enhance their health, wellbeing, and safety outcomes. 
This podcast is part of the NCFH’s #BuildingFarmSpirit campaign funded by the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions as part of the Victorian Government’s 2022 flood response.

When you are concerned about how a farming friend, workmate or family member is going, getting them to talk about what is troubling them is the first step to finding solutions or getting help?

Knowing how to get that conversation happening is a great
tool to have in your back pocket. Really listening to their response and keeping the conversation going over time could be a real gamechanger.

Jane Nursey from Phoenix Australia explores how floods and difficult farming seasons can impact the mental health and wellbeing of children and adolescents in farm families.
