The need
100,000+ children across rural and remote Australia have health and developmental needs that aren’t being met.
200+ children are on our waitlist and referrals are growing
30 weeks’ wait time and growing.
We are dedicated to the developmental health and wellbeing of Australia’s country kids. The demand for our services is growing and we need your help to support to country communities who are facing significant hardship.
Giving hope to country kids, families and communities
Our Ride for Country Kids provides hope to regions devastated by drought. There has never been a more crucial time for Royal Far West and our friends to show support for drought stricken rural communities. The Ride coming to town is a breath of fresh air for the country children and their families who are doing it tough.
The Ride
In 2020 the RFCK will be travelling to Royal Far West’s spiritual home Cobar and some of the hardest hit regions of the drought. Royal Far West delivers allied health services all along the route. This region is rich with friends, supporters, client and partners. This will be the most special ride yet.
How RFW make a difference to country families

“Having spent this week at Royal Far West, I now have renewed hope that we can help Andrew develop skills we didn’t think would be possible. What you do is incredible, and you and the team here really need to be commended”
