Our Impact
The Empowering Our Communities Program
The impact of drought is known to extend well beyond farmers and their families in rural communities.
In 2019, Community College Northern Inland supported its community by offering fee-free places in a range of leisure classes at campuses throughout the region. These places were funded by the Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network under the Australian Government Empowering Our Communities initiative. The program aimed to give communities the opportunity to tailor mental health responses to local needs in communities struggling with drought.
