Rural Outreach Counselling Inc. (ROC) is a community-minded mental health charity working out of the Riverina region of New South Wales.
ROC was founded with rural service gaps in mind.
ROC understands the lack of support services, the long waitlists, and the distances some are required to travel for a face-to-face consult.
ROC aims to significantly reduce the impact of depression and anxiety in rural families and communities throughout regional Australia.
This aim will be achieved by reaching out proactively with help and support to those who can’t, or won’t, present to a General Practitioner (GP) or existing mental health services.
Through ROC MateKeeper Champions and qualified Counsellors circulating within the community, support will be provided to at-risk individuals via networking, connections, and relationships formed by reaching out. For more information about our MateKeeper Champion Campaign, please click here.

If you or someone you know suffers from mental illness, you already understand how a sense of community can make a difference.

There’s a tendency in the bush to say, “She’ll be right”. We’re very good at looking after other people, but the worst when it comes to caring for ourselves.
