Community presentation sessions
We can offer a number of community information sessions on a range of health, wellbeing or safety topics. Our presenters are trained agrihealth professionals who understand the challenges of living and working on the land. We will work with you to determine the most appropriate topics to suit your needs.
We can also provide take home resources such as the Managing Stress on the Farm, Managing Health on the Farm or Managing Safety on the farm booklets.
