At Rural Aid, movement always matters. When it comes to looking after our mental health, movement doesn't have to mean running a marathon or hitting the gym.

It can be as simple as a walk around the farm, getting outside for some fresh air, or even having a dance in the kitchen. Every small step counts.

This Mental Health Month, we're encouraging rural Australians to make time for movement in whatever way feels right for them. πŸ’š

So, what gets you moving?

Share your favourite way to move, or join the Footloose Challenge, post your video and tag . We'd love to see rural Australia getting involved. Thank you for the amazing tutorial still available to learn the Rural Aid dance.

And remember, if you or someone you know needs support, Rural Aid's Mental Health & Wellbeing team is here for farmers and farming families every step of the way.

Rural Aid was delighted to be part of the Woolworths Christmas and Summer Trade Show, sharing Rural Aid’s work with more than 2,200 Woolworths team members and suppliers.

Throughout the event, attendees wrote messages of thanks and support to our Aussie farmers, creating a wonderful display of appreciation for those who work hard to keep Australia growing.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Woolworths team, raise awareness of the challenges facing farming communities and showcase the impact of Rural Aid’s work.

A big thank you to Woolworths Group for the invitation and for your valued partnership since 2018, helping Rural Aid make a meaningful difference for Australian farmers and rural communities.

β˜•πŸ’š From coffee with a cause to lending a hand.

When you create a coffee company to give back to rural Australia, there's only one thing better than donating a portion of your sales to Rural Aid.

Showing up in person.

The father and son behind Coffees for a Cause recently brought their coffee cart to our Kempsey Farm Recovery Event, generously serving up free cups of coffee for volunteers and the local community before rolling up their sleeves and volunteering alongside us to support local farmers.

Together, they're putting their purpose into action. Not just by raising funds through every bag of coffee sold, but by giving their time, energy and skills to the farming families who need a helping hand.

It's collaborations like this that remind us what community is all about.
Thank you to for standing alongside farmers in more ways than one. We can't wait to see where this journey takes you next! πŸ’š

🚜 Our Kempsey Farm Recovery Event is officially underway!

This week, our incredible volunteers have rolled up their sleeves and hit the ground running, working alongside local farming families who are continuing their recovery from the 2025 floods.

On day one our teams were out on farms, not deterred by the rain tackling a range of jobs, including painting gutters and downpipes, clearing paddocks of debris, fencing and more.

We would like to thank our partners Allianz Australia who have made this event possible. Your generosity is helping Rural Aid and our team of volunteers be on the ground to help farming families where it's needed most.

Stay tuned throughout the week as we share more stories, photos, and the incredible impact being made across the Kempsey region. πŸ’™

This International Day of Rural Women, we celebrate the incredible women who support, lead and strengthen rural Australia every day. πŸ’š

As part of a recent Women in Agriculture event in Bowen, our counsellor Nicole joined local women in conversations about the realities of life on the land, the importance of wellbeing, and making time to rest, reflect and reconnect.

One message stood above the rest: connection matters.

At Rural Aid, we know that strong communities are built through connection. Whether it's sharing experiences, seeking support, or simply checking in with one another, those moments can make a meaningful difference.

Drought is more than a lack of rain. It's the daily reality of making tough decisions, stretching resources further, and carrying uncertainty from one season to the next.

For farming families, drought can mean buying feed instead of growing it, watching water supplies shrink, and making difficult choices to protect livestock and livelihoods.

Understanding what drought really means is the first step in understanding why support matters.

If you're a farmer feeling the pressure, find out more about Rural Aid's support by calling 1300 327 624 or visit ruralaid.org.au/services-provided

We're halfway through Mental Health Month, and what a month it's been!

A huge thank you to everyone who has joined our Movement for Mental Health campaign, shared their dance videos, and helped spread a little joy across rural Australia.

As Myf, Rural Aid’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Manager reminds us, movement doesn't have to be structured, strenuous or perfect to make a positive difference. A walk around the paddock, stretching between jobs, kicking a ball with the kids, or even having a dance can all be great ways to support your mental wellbeing.

If you haven't had a go yet, there's still time! 🎢

Grab a mate, learn the dance, have some fun, post your video and tag . We'd love to see even more of rural Australia getting involved.

And remember, if you or someone you know could use a little extra support, Rural Aid's Mental Health & Wellbeing team is here for farmers and farming families. Contact Rural Aid on 1300 327 624 or visit ruralaid.org.au to learn more about the support available.

🚜 Ahead of our Farm Recovery Event kicking off on 18 October, some of our incredible volunteers have already arrived in Kempsey to start connecting with the local community.

Our volunteers Sandra and Peter have been out visiting some of the farms we'll be supporting during the week, while also proudly representing Rural Aid at a CWA presentation.

It was a wonderful opportunity to share more about the work Rural Aid does to support rural communities. The members welcomed the presentation warmly, asked plenty of thoughtful questions, and showed genuine interest in learning more about our programs and services.

We're so grateful for the warm reception and strong community spirit. The team and volunteers are looking forward to spending more time in the region over the coming week. πŸ’š
