Wheatbelt friends - we need your help!

Are you able to host a couple of medical students for three nights this March?

More than 200 future doctors from Curtin and Notre Dame universities are heading to the Wheatbelt from 10–13 March 2026 for an unforgettable rural immersion, the kind of experience that inspires them to come back and work in country WA.

We’re looking for wonderful locals who can open their homes to 2–3 students, provide a cosy place to sleep, a few meals, help with lifts around town, and most importantly… share what makes your community special.

These students will be visiting: Brookton, Bruce Rock, Corrigin, Cunderdin, Dalwallinu, Katanning, Kellerberrin, Kondinin, Kulin, Merredin, Moora, Narrogin, Southern Cross, and Wongan Hills.

If you live in or near one of these towns and can host, we’d love to hear from you!
Please call 08 6389 4500 or email futureworkforce@ruralhealthwest.com.au

Let’s show the next generation of rural doctors the heart of the Wheatbelt

Hey I’m Joseph. I’m really passionate about assessments and helping people finally make sense of things that have felt confusing or overwhelming for years. Seeing that moment of clarity, when it all clicks, is why I do this work.
And yes, that’s me with a chicken. The Wheatbelt keeps me on my toes — big skies, surprise chickens, and honest conversations that matter.

Drop a hello to Joseph in the comments!

Autistic burnout isn’t about laziness.
It’s exhaustion from constantly masking and managing sensory or social overload.

Recovery takes rest, routine, and understanding, not “trying harder.”
If you relate, it might be time to slow down and honour your limits.

Share this to normalise rest and recovery!

Our boots (and tyres) have seen it all - gravel roads, red dust, and bad roadhouse coffee.

Every trip reminds us why we do this, because mental-health support shouldn’t stop where the bitumen does. We bring therapy to the places people live, work and grow.

Mood swings, brain fog, anxiety - it’s not “just stress.”

Peri-menopause changes hormones that impact sleep, focus and emotions. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.

Understanding what’s happening in your body can make it easier to ask for the right support.

Save this for a friend who needs to hear they’re not crazy - they’re hormonal and human.

It’s not “new”, it’s newly understood.

Many adults, especially women, are being diagnosed later in life because early signs were missed or masked.

ADHD and autism can look quiet, organised, or simply exhausted. Understanding brings relief, not labels.

Want to explore if you are autistic or ADHD?
We can help.

I still remember seeing my very first client out here.
New town and working from a hot office at the CRC.

When they walked in, we were both a bit nervous. They were taking a chance on a new psychologist, and I was hoping I'd have something useful to say!

But we sat down, took a breath, and started.

That session is still one of the ones I think about the most. It reminded me why people choose to receive help even when it feels scary, and why working in a small town means something different.

It wasn’t perfect or polished, but it was real. And that was enough.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, it’s okay to be nervous. Most of us were too.

Save this for days you need the reminder.

This we’re honouring the quiet strength of country blokes. The farmers, the truckies, the tradies, and the dads who help keep the Wheatbelt moving.

Too many still carry the load alone. It’s okay to talk, and it’s okay to ask for help. Real courage looks like reaching out.

Share this to remind a mate he’s not alone.

When the COVID lockdowns hit in 2020, Lauren moved to the Wheatbelt looking for fresh air, open space, and a sense of community.

Starting off working for a national provider, Lauren began seeing first-hand just how many people were missing out on mental-health support.

By 2022, Lauren decided to start her own practice with the primary focus of supporting the Wheatbelt!

What began as one psychologist with a dream to make therapy more accessible, has now grown into a full team of clinicians on the road each week, providing support from Northam to Merredin, to Narrogin and everywhere in between, Perth included!

We are all so proud to be part of this community, keeping therapy local, real, and within reach!

I even got time for a sneaky side trip in between sessions to visit Mt Wellington 😍
As a self proclaimed lizard the cold was challenging though 😂
