The National Centre for Farmer Health is a partnership between Deakin University and Western District Health Service with funding received from the Victorian Department of Health & Human Services.
Partner with us
Organisations that support our work are incredibly important to us. Our corporate, industry and research partners and supporters ensure that farm men, women, agricultural workers and rural communities have access to services, information and resources that lead industry and cultural change in farmer health and safety.
We believe our relevance is underpinned by our dedication to providing services directly to farmers and in the communities where they live and work. This enables us to be connected to those for whom we wish to make a difference.
We actively seek to expand our reach and to build strong relationships with like-minded organisations who share our vision of making a difference to farmers’ lives.
If you’re interested in working with us please get in touch with our Business Development & Industry Engagement Manager to discuss the possible ways we can work together.
Corporate Partners
We are proud to partner with corporate organisations who are committed to leading industry change in farmer health and safety culture.
Rural Bank
Rural Bank have been partnering with us since 2015 to deliver programs to farming men, women and agricultural and rural workers across Australia. This has included delivering a total of 1526 farmer Health and Lifestyle Assessments at field days during 2015-2019.
Metalcorp
Our partnership with Metalcorp was established in 2018 and has allowed us to extend the reach of our service delivery across rural Australia and enhance our research capabilities, better positioning both Metalcorp and the NCFH to close the existing gap between the health, wellbeing and safety status of Australian farmers and agricultural workers and their urban cousins.
Lysn
In 2019 we launched a telehealth platform in collaboration with Lysn to provide enhanced access to farmer-focused mental health care and support to rural farming regions of Australia.
Industry and Research Partners
Responding to poor health status of rural populations goes beyond the capacity of the health sector and/or education sector alone and we are devoted to working with industry and research partners for the mutual benefit of improving farmer health, wellbeing and safety.
