Our story

About us

Rural Aid was founded in 2015 to provide a holistic support program to rural Australia. The starting point for the charity was the success of the Buy a Bale campaign, which to date has received over $30 million in donations and distributed this through fodder, hampers and more. We understand the needs of our primary producers and aim to lend a helping hand when times are tough.
In 2018 Rural Aid launched a mental health counselling program deploying counsellors across drought affected areas to help alleviate stress and help manage natural disaster situations. Today our counsellors conduct hundreds of calls each week and regular farm visits.
We run a number of rural support initiatives.
