Aussie Helpers are a non profit registered charity that has been operating since May 2002 from its original base in Charleville. People on the land typically are proud, resourceful, and independent, and many feel they have to manage on their own during the hard times. Aussie Helpers was formed to help fight poverty and lift the spirits of those severely affected by drought in rural Australia. Through the help of volunteers, and generous members of the community, the Aussie Helpers Association is a support network for farmers all over Australia.
