A healthy rural workforce is critical for workforce participation and productivity. Using a strengths-based approach, this study provides research evidence of farmer and fisher preferred occupation/industry specific protective behaviours to maintain physical and mental wellbeing.

The report is aimed at rural communities, industry organisations, health services and all levels of government.
