Norco is proud to partner with Black Dog Institute to support mental health and raise awareness of the tools and support available to Australians.
There are growing issues in Australia with access to services for a number of reasons including a lack of awareness, financial and geographical barriers, as well as limited access to quality services. This partnership aims to increase Australian’s access to the free mental health and wellbeing tools developed by Black Dog Institute.
New research shines a light on Australian farmer mental health with saddening statistics around self-harm and suicide, sparking calls for government support and industry-wide collaboration to create farmer-to-farmer support networks across the country.

Cost can be a significant barrier, especially for those without insurance
