Bush Education Assistance Program
Each year, Bushed supports up to 3,000 children engaged in distance education and welcomes 7,000 new children born into families isolated from basic support and care services. We believe that access to quality education and healthcare is a fundamental right for every Australian. Driven by our commitment and passion, we strive to close the educational gap for children in rural and remote areas. We are determined to ensure that no child is denied a quality education due to their geographical location. Our goal is to empower these young minds and create opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

Mothers In Arms Program
The MIA program is crucial as health services in rural, remote, and isolated areas of Australia have been declining. This includes a shortage of doctors, nurses, and allied health services such as speech therapists, audiologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and psychologists. These services are vital for new mothers, families, and communities. In their absence, accessing healthcare can be both expensive and challenging.
The MIA program offers essential support through Buddy Mums, who provide practical assistance and share their lived experiences. Feedback from mothers using the program highlights the invaluable support and care provided by those with firsthand experience. Our approach is non-judgmental and focused on building confidence. By integrating these strategies into a comprehensive approach, mothers in rural and remote areas will gain the tools, knowledge, and support they need to thrive in rural and remote Australia.
If you are a mum or family and would like access to this service, register here.
Disaster Assistance
Bushed exists to help families not just survive natural disasters, but recover, stabilise, and rebuild with dignity. When floods, fires, droughts, or extreme weather strike, the impact on rural and remote families extends far beyond physical damage. Education is disrupted, isolation increases, and emotional strain intensifies. Bushed responds with practical, people-centred programs that support children’s learning continuity, strengthen family wellbeing, and reduce the long-term social and economic impacts of disaster. This includes targeted educational assistance for children affected by displacement or disruption, ensuring learning does not fall behind during recovery.
Alongside education support, Bushed provides vital peer-to-peer care through trained volunteers, including Mental Health First Aid qualified supporters who understand the unique pressures of rural life. In times of crisis, Bushed delivers direct financial assistance to farming families, coordinates volunteers to assist with clean-up and recovery projects, and helps supply essential post-disaster resources where they are most needed. By combining practical help with human connection, Bushed ensures families are supported emotionally, socially, and practically helping communities regain confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.
