We’re thrilled to announce a new way for people who live and work rurally to access wellbeing support.

✅ No referral
✅ No waitlist
✅ No cost

Sometimes a good yarn with the right person makes all the difference. Whether you’re facing challenges, feeling under pressure, or simply need someone to talk to, support is available - on your terms.

We’ve just begun casting for the New Zealand version of Muster Dogs, and are looking for people from around Aotearoa with a genuine connection to working dogs and rural life.

The series follows participants raising and training a working dog pup over a 12 month period, with each participant being provided a puppy at the beginning of the journey.

Last night we had our annual AGM, where we welcomed a few new faces to the new Tararua Young Farmers committee as well as some previous members changing roles, we’re all excited for the year ahead and all the opportunities it will bring! At the same time, we’d like to give a huge thank you to the members leaving our committee, their hard work, dedication, and the effort they’ve put into making the club what it is today hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Make sure you get along to this awesome FREE event being held by Rural Support Tararua later this month!

We are so proud to be bringing “Are You OK?” with Willie Apiata VC to Tararua.

This is a really special opportunity to hear from Willie — one of New Zealand’s Victoria Cross recipients.

While most of us will never face the kinds of situations Willie has, his message about checking in, looking after ourselves, and looking out for our mates is something every one of us can relate to.

📍 Tui Brewery – The Flagon Room, Mangatainoka

This is a FREE event, with a complimentary drink & nibbles provided — but spaces are limited, so please register early and don’t miss out.
