Real Support for Real Jobs: RFTTEJOBS & TIACS Partnership

At RFTTEJOBS.com and RFTTE.com, our community is built on helping each other out. We’re connected to hundreds of thousands of people working across Australia on cattle stations, farms, feedlots and even export boats - and we know the challenges are real, especially when you’re remote or on your own.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter) - a service making sure people have someone to talk to, no matter where they are.

Why This Matters

Life in Ag isn’t your typical 9 to 5.

Whether you’re:

  • Mustering on a remote cattle station

  • Driving machinery on a cropping farm

  • Working long shifts in a feedlot

  • Or weeks at sea on an export boat

… it can be isolating, physically demanding and mentally tough.

The reality is confronting:
 Every 10 days, an Australian farmer takes their own life.

That’s why accessible, practical support matters more than ever.

TIACS provides free, confidential mental health support tailored to people in the bush and blue-collar industries.

Current TIACS Campaign: “Don’t Keep It Under Your Hat”

TIACS campaign is all about one thing:

👉 Start the conversation early

It encourages people across ag to speak up, check in on their mates and break the stigma — instead of carrying it all on their own. The campaign that runs from the 23rd of March - 24th of April and it's designed to get farmers talking and back to lovin’ life a bit more.
