Building mentally healthy and resilient rural communities
Are you ready to make a difference in your mental health and wellbeing?
What We Do

We deliver early-intervention suicide prevention programs tailored specifically for rural and remote communities. Our team works face-to-face with people across rural Tasmania, using practical tools and strategies to reduce the risk of suicide and improve mental wellbeing.


At RAW, we do things differently. We understand that one of the biggest barriers to seeking help is feeling like no one truly gets your situation. That’s why every member of our team comes from rural, agricultural, or primary industry backgrounds. We’ve lived it, and we’re here to walk alongside you. Learn more about our programs here.
