The farmer wellness and wellbeing dashboard monitors the wellness and wellbeing of dairy farmers across four categories - wellness behaviour, physical wellness, mental wellness, along with capability and awareness.
This dashboard is updated regularly and utilises a range of data sources. It is anticipated that the data sources used within the dashboard will be expanded over time.
