Great to have Michael from The Regional Men's Health Initiative onsite at Muchea Livestock Centre today, with the visit facilitated by our Operations Manager Adam.

The Pit Stop is a fantastic initiative supporting men’s health and wellbeing in regional communities. So if you’re onsite, please take a few minutes to drop by and have a chat at the Pit Stop.
It’s a simple, practical way to check in on your wellbeing, and a great reminder of the importance of looking after yourself and your mates. 👏
