G'day ,

At RFTTE, our community has always been about helping each other out. 

As you well know, life in Ag isn’t your typical 9 to 5. Whether you’re mustering on a remote station, driving machinery on a cropping farm, working long shifts in a feedlot or spending weeks at sea on an export boat, it can be isolating, physically demanding and mentally tough.

That’s why we’re pleased to help create awareness for TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter) - a service making sure people have someone to talk to, no matter where they are.

The reality is confronting - every 10 days, an Australian farmer takes their own life. That’s why accessible, practical support matters more than ever.

TIACS offers free, confidential mental health support tailored to people in the bush and blue-collar industries. It’s simple, direct and built for people who might not otherwise reach out.

Their current campaign, “Don’t Keep It Under Your Hat”, is all about starting the conversation early - encouraging people across Ag to speak up, check in on their mates and not carry it all on their own. 

How to Contact TIACS:

• Call or text: 0488 846 988 | Who's on the other end:\
• Cost: Free, confidential support
• No GP referral, no waiting lists
• Visit: https://www.tiacs.org/

Look after your mates, and yourself.

Hooroo for now,

Simon
