Rural Aid is committed to supporting and empowering rural communities before, during and after natural disasters. Established in 2015, Rural Aid has become one of Australia’s leading rural charities and is founded on the principles of compassion, hope, reverence and determination.
Rural Aid’s counselling services and community programs support the creation of more sustainable and resilient rural communities as we work towards stronger futures for all Australian farmers and communities. They also provide critical support to assist farmers and communities before, during and after disasters such as drought, flood and fire.
As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, they rely on the generosity of industry partners and supporters who fundraise, donate and volunteer to help farming families throughout Australia. These supporters make a real difference to the lives of our rural communities by providing practical, on-the-ground support through Rural Aid.
