WHY WE DO IT
Rural and Remote Australia has a higher proportion of disadvanted people.
-
Family incomes are lower, yet costs of living are higher
-
Limited access to the full range of government and other services essential for community well-being
-
The worst drought seen for generations
-
Isolation and limited social activities
For many Rural and Remote Australians, hope s scarce, depression is a part of everyday life and suicide is not uncommon. |
