2019 has been a difficult season for many throughout Western Australia with variable rainfall impacting on production and profitability.

A range of services are in place to support farmers and pastoralists experiencing hardship, as a result of seasonal and financial pressures.

There are statewide crisis care services in Table 1, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Regional Counselling Services directory in Table 2 collates a range of counselling and support services available to individuals, couples and families in each Region and Statewide.
