Fat Farmers is a grassroots organisation dedicated to strengthening rural communities through connection, preventative health and wellbeing initiatives.
By working alongside local communities, industry partners and health organisations, Fat Farmers helps create opportunities for farmers and their families to connect, access support and prioritise their health.
For many people working in agriculture, long hours, seasonal pressures and distance from services can make it difficult to access preventative healthcare.
Events like Elmore Field Days provide an opportunity to bring support directly to where farmers already gather, making conversations about health more accessible and practical.
Delivered through the Fat Farmers mobile Health Hub, the Farmer Lifestyle Assessments will provide participants with a confidential opportunity to better understand their health, identify potential risk factors and connect with experienced health professionals in a welcoming and practical environment.
The National Centre for Farmer Health has a long history of supporting agricultural communities and understands the unique challenges faced by farmers and farm workers.
The assessments focus on key health and lifestyle factors while providing practical information that participants can use to support their long-term wellbeing.
Fat Farmers CEO Richard Sheppy said the partnership reflected the importance of taking support into communities rather than expecting communities to find it.
“Strong and resilient farming communities are built on healthy people.
“By bringing services to events like Elmore Field Days, we're making it easier for farmers to have conversations about their health, access practical support and connect with organisations that understand farming life,” he said.
Drop into the Fat Farmers Health Hub at Elmore Field Days and take the opportunity to check in on your health.
Whether you’re a farmer, farm worker, family member or part of the broader agricultural community, the Fat Farmers team and the National Centre for Farmer Health will be on hand to provide free Farmer Lifestyle Assessments and practical health information.
No appointments, no fuss, just a simple opportunity to put your health on the agenda while you’re at the field days.
The Fat Farmers Health Hub will be on site at Elmore Field Days, offering visitors free Farmer Lifestyle Assessments and practical health and wellbeing support.
