Our Bush Chaplain Rev Phill Matthews Needs Your Help

Our Bush Chaplain Rev Phill Matthews Needs Your Help

This year’s drought is considered the worst in over 70 years. Farmers across Australia have been attempting to keep their farms going. It’s dry out here, it’s relentless and can be heartbreaking seeing the devastation. This week our Bush Chaplain, Phill Matthew hit the road. Over four days of hard and dusty travel, Phill met with local families and identified their critical needs.

We’re calling on skilled Aussie workers to volunteer, to help those doing it tough in the bush. Take some time off and have a holiday of hope by joining our on-the-ground program, Outback Links. Sign up to be an Outback Links Volunteer. Outback Links provides skilled and experienced volunteers to help with day-to-day work on remote properties around Australia when families need an extra pair of hands which is especially needed now during the drought.

Host a Great Outback BBQ to help our Farmers!

Every September, people from all over Australia gather ’round the grill and host a BBQ event to show support for Aussie farmers doing it tough. It’s called mateship, and it’s what Aussies do best! Every dollar raised during the Great Outback BBQ can help provide critical care to those suffering from mental illness and social isolation. Every dollar means we will overcome the tyranny of distance. We are Aussie’s and we are #StandingWithAus! We’re kicking off our Great Outback BBQ Campaign from September 1 to 30, 2018. Register your BBQ now!

We’re calling on all Aussies for urgent support to assist the growing and critical need in the bush at the launch of our biggest fundraising event – the Great Outback BBQ – held through the month of September. Founded by Rev Dr John Flynn, the man who also founded the Royal Flying Doctors Service and the School of the Air, we provide on-the-ground practical support in the form of Bush Chaplains and skilled volunteers to remote and regional communities.

August 2018 Edition – Frontier News

We have been moved by the amazing work happening in support of people in remote communities, including Aussie Farmers, FIFO workers and those advocating for First Peoples. We were so inspired following a visit to the Riverina Region (New South Wales) that we dedicated our August edition of Frontier News to the stories we learned during Walking On Country. We hope you enjoy this read and pray that you, too, are inspired to support us on our journey of reconciliation. Together, let’s learn, share and grow.
