The Farmsafe Australia Safer Farmers Ambassadors Network is a selective leadership development program for farmers who want to strengthen their voice and help lead positive change across Australian agriculture.

The program focuses on building confident communicators and trusted industry advocates who can influence conversations about farm safety, wellbeing and culture. Through advanced media training, leadership development and real-world industry engagement, participants will develop the skills to represent agriculture in public forums and help promote safer, stronger farming communities.

Participants will work alongside respected industry leaders, communications professionals and safety experts to develop compelling personal stories, build public communication capability and gain practical experience engaging with industry audiences.

By the end of the program, ambassadors will be equipped to speak confidently with media, industry, communities and policymakers, and to contribute meaningfully to conversations that shape the future of farm safety in Australia.

Please note all eligible applicants must live or hold a role on farm.
