National Centre for Farmer Health

For a very informative website, look no further than the National Centre for Farmer Health (NCFH). With it coming to fruition in 2008, the NCFH was founded with vision to be a centre that provided high quality and inspiring education, research and deliver services through partnerships that improve the health of farming communities.


The website contains education and training opportunities including:

  • Graduate Certificates

  • Higher degrees by researchers

  • Workshops for rural professionals and communities

  • Teaching tools for university and secondary schools


There is a section dedicated to farmer specific information such as:

  • Health, Wellbeing and Safety Fact Sheets

  • Health and Safety Assessment Tools

  • Support Resources

  • Access to a psychologist online


Programs they provide information for include the following and many more:

  • ifarmwell – Online Farmer Toolkit

  • Gear Up for Ag and Health & Safety

  • Mental Health 4 Ag

  • The Ripple Effect


For those that enjoy research, there is a section dedicated to rural research which is helping gain funding for running regional initiatives and programs.


Finally there is a one stop shop, The Safety Shop. This online shop contains products such as written material on ‘Managing Stress on the Farm’, to sunscreen, safety goggles, first aid kits, ear muffs, gloves, safety vest and much more.
