Farming communities across South Australia’s Mid North are receiving vital support through a drought relief initiative led by Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS), in partnership with the Farmers Relief Agency Ltd. As part of a broader effort to assist those affected, the MGA Whittles Community Foundation has donated $50,000 to help fund the ongoing response in one of the hardest-hit regions of the state.

MGA are proud to support the opening of the new Wellbeing Hub in Tumby Bay, a space dedicated to improving mental health and wellbeing across the community.

Australia’s farming community is no stranger to the unpredictable nature of our climate. In recent years, prolonged droughts, unpredictable rainfall, and extreme weather events have placed immense pressure on farmers, rural businesses, and the broader agricultural industry. Crops have withered, livestock numbers have fallen, and the financial burden on farming families has grown. In a country where the land provides not just livelihoods but a way of life, the emotional and economic toll has been devastating.
