AgriSafe™ offers a comprehensive 90-minute one-on-one health assessment tailored for farmers. Our agrihealth professionals identify occupational hazards specific to your work and provide personalised education and written referrals to support your health, wellbeing and safety.
Your health, your business
Your health is your # 1 asset to you, your family and your farming business. Injuries and poor health not only affect you, they affect your family and can compromise your business’ productivity and profitability.
Knowing the status of your health, wellbeing and safety is the first step towards improving it.
What’s involved?
Participating in an AgriClinicTM is easy – invest 90 minutes of your time and have the following undertaken:
- Blood glucose testing
- Blood lipid testing
- Blood pressure
- Body mass index calculation

Important Service Update
We’re excited to have received a prestigious five‑year research grant from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund to redevelop and expand our AgriSafe program.
This investment will help us work with farmers, industry partners, and health professionals to refine the program, strengthen the evidence base, and ensure AgriSafe meets the evolving needs of farmers and farming communities. Together, we’ll co‑design a revitalised program that will collect valuable health data, and trial it across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland – bringing targeted, proactive health support to more farming communities across Australia.
We’ll keep you updated as this important work progresses.
