Welcome to Active Farmers

Active Farmers, a registered Not-for-Profit Health Promotion Charity, bringing together small rural communities through regular group fitness and active community events.

Active Farmers is a grass root approach to rural health and well-being. Active Farmers purpose is to address the poor mental health and alarming suicide rates in rural communities affected by droughts, floods, fires, COVID-19 and isolation. Beyond Blue reports that suicide rates in very remote areas of Australia are more than double those in major cities.

As dedicated Not For Profit Health Promotion Charity, we are committed to enhancing the well-being of locals in small rural communities through group fitness. Regular physical activity has a significantly positive impact on mental health, reducing stress, enhancing memory, improving sleep, and boosting mood. Research shows that exercise can be as effective as medication and psychotherapy in improving mental health.

Our method is simple - by bringing people together through exercise we will build stronger and more resilient rural communities. Delivered by local qualified Fitness Professionals our sessions are tailored for rural communities who have limited to no access to fitness resources. Our Trainers are paid volunteers with a passion for their communities and tailer sessions to meet their participants needs.

Rural fitness, for rural people, by rural people.

In addition to our fitness classes, Active Farmers offers a variety of supportive services. These include informative workshops on topics like mental health, nutrition, and mindfulness.

We bring exciting events such as the Active Farmers Games, Ride for Resilience, and Run for Resilience to small rural communities. Events that encourage participants to challenge their physical and mental health and promote healthy lifestyles.

By fostering physical health and mental well-being in rural areas, Active Farmers contributes to the creation of stronger, more resilient rural communities.

Join us in our mission by supporting our cause through donations, and together, let's make a positive impact on the lives of those in regional areas.
