Rural Mental Health Conference

November 4 @ 8:30 am – 5:00 pm

What Works, Where It Matters: Strengthening Integrated Rural Mental Health Systems, Workforce and Communities

The Rural Mental Health Conference 2026 (RMHC26) brings together professionals, practitioners, researchers, service providers and community leaders from regional, rural and remote Australia who are committed to improving mental health, wellbeing and recovery.

Focused on strengthening capability, improving service pathways and supporting place-based solutions, RMHC26 moves beyond discussing challenges to sharing practical approaches that can be applied directly within communities, services and organisations.

The National Centre for Farmer Health (NCFH) is proud to be represented by Lucinda Star and Kelly Barnes, who will be showcasing two of our key initiatives. Lucinda will present on Back on Track on Thursday, while Kelly will share insights from Look Over the Farm Gate on Friday.

The conference will be held on the Gold Coast from 4-6 November 2026, providing an opportunity to connect, learn and explore what works where it matters most.
