Great another survey. As if we need more paperwork. Just get out there and talk to us.
mate, talk to us over a cuppa not a bloody online form.
Finally someone is asking. Been saying for years rural women are forgotten in health policies. Good on them.
Yeah nah but will this actually change anything or just gather dust like the last one?
I'm a rural woman and I'm bloody exhausted. This survey better lead to actual support, not just 'awareness'.
FFS another 'knowledge gap'. Meanwhile farmers are working 80 hour weeks. Just give us better broadband and healthcare already.

hear. Broadband and a decent GP would do more than any survey.
What a load of shit. Researchers making careers out of this while we struggle. Talk about out of touch.
here. But i'll still fill it in cos maybe, just maybe, it'll help.
Honestly if this gets one rural woman better mental health support it's worth it. Stop being so cynical.
Cynical? Nah just been burnt before. Prove me wrong, i dare em.
The real gap is between what they survey and what they actually do. Seen it too many times.
that's exactly the attitude that gets us nowhere. Progress is slow but this is a step.
Totally agree. We need action not more questions. But at least someone is acknowledging the issue exists.
