Winter 2025 Regional Wellbeing Survey
The Regional Wellbeing Survey has been tracking wellbeing in Australia’s rural, remote and regional areas since 2013.
Each year, farmers are asked about their wellbeing, and how things are going on the farm. With many farms in Australia currently impacted by drought and/or the effects of floods, uncertainty around international markets and supply chains and changes in technology and regulation, this survey includes a special check-in on the wellbeing of people working in agriculture.
Survey participants who complete the survey before 8 August can enter a draw to win one of 13 prizes worth $5,000 in total.
