AgriSafe: Health checks designed for farmers

Your health is your most valuable asset, for your family, your farm, and your future. 

AgriSafe offers one-on-one health checkups made specifically for farmers. Delivered by trained health professionals who understand the farming life, these 90-minute sessions are practical, private and tailored to your needs. 

What’s included: 

  • Blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and BMI checks  
  • Hearing, vision, skin and breathing tests  
  • Urine testing and agrichemical exposure screening  
  • Respirator fit testing  
  • Risk assessment for your work  
  • Personalised advice and referrals.

AgriSafe 2.0:  Help us build a new chapter! 

We’ve received a major research grant from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund to improve and expand the AgriSafe program. That means we’ll be working closely with farmers, health professionals and industry partners to make sure AgriSafe is practical, useful and built around what farmers really need. 

This matters because poor health doesn’t just affect you – it affects your family, your business and your community.  

What’s coming? 

  • Steering Committee of farmers, health professionals and NCFH team members who will guide the program  
  • Farmer interviews which will help shape how health checks are delivered  
  • pilot program launch in late 2026  
  • Full rollout across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland expected in 2027.

Take part in an interview

We’re looking for farmers, farm workers, and others in the ag sector to join a 30-45 minute Zoom interview. You’ll help us understand what works – and what doesn’t – when it comes to health checks. 

  • Interviews run from November to December 2025 
  • You may be invited to give feedback on survey questions later.
