Farm safety - protecting what matters most (Henty 2026)

Farm safety isn't just a compliance box to tick — it's about making sure everyone on your property goes home safe at the end of the day.

Join NSW Farmers for a practical, no-nonsense workshop tackling the real risks facing farming families and workers today. We'll unpack the latest fatality data and trends, explore how to build a genuine safety-first culture, and look at the training, induction and consultation practices that keep everyone on the same page.
