People in the Greater Gippsland Region are in the grip of Australia’s worst bushfires. We urgently need to fund a relief Bush Chaplain to support Rev Rowena Harris in our High Country Remote Area. Your gift today will ensure trauma counselling and emergency relief are available to families when they need it most. Can you help?

In our 2018-19 Annual Report, we celebrate our incredible Bush Chaplains and Outback Links volunteers as they bring helping hands and hope to more people in remote Australia. We reflect on our collaborations with our corporate partners, and thank our loyal supporters who have made a tremendous difference to the lives of people in the Outback.

We talk with one of our farmers about the worst drought on record. “When you’re around dust and dying stock all the time, depression can hit you hard,” Rhonda told us. “But knowing someone cares makes such a difference.” We believe the rains will come. Until then, we need your help to keep people’s spirits high. Find out more in our latest story…

When times get tough in the bush, people feel increasingly isolated. Our farmers tell us that what gets them through is knowing there are people out there for them. People like our incredible Outback Links volunteers. But we need your help to keep our volunteering program going for another year…

Our farmers have endured so much for so long. But what’s getting them through is knowing that other people are there for them. People who care and people who are willing to give them a hand up. We’re so grateful for our incredible Outback Links volunteers who brought helpful hands and hope to farmers in and around Moree (NSW) during a recent trip.

We’re so grateful for your wonderful support this year, which is forging friendships and lifting spirits in the Outback. In this issue we take you to Bingara (NSW) where farmers Greg and Bethany Stace have their first Outback Links experience. We share the ongoing struggles people in the bush face and demonstrate the growing need for our incredible volunteers and Bush Chaplains.
