Our Partners, Supporters & Donors

Partner with us!

The National Centre for Farmer Health is an independently managed partnership between Deakin University and Western District Health Service.

We have a vision to shape tomorrow’s healthiest farming communities worldwide – but we can’t do it alone.

We receive critical funding from a diverse range of sources, including government (local, state and federal), corporate, philanthropic and industry partners, to extend our reach and impact on a national level. By building meaningful, mutually beneficial relationships, we ensure that our work can make a lasting difference for farming communities.

We actively seek to build strong relationships with like-minded organisations who share our vision of making a difference to farmers’ lives. We can offer customisable partnership packages that allow for flexibility and tailored services based on the unique needs of interested parties. 

Ways to partner

We provide several ways to get involved:

  • Collaborative projects
  • Sponsorship opportunities
  • Event and program partnerships

We’d love to explore the best fit for your organisation to create meaningful and lasting outcomes for the agricultural sector.
