Address occupational demands and cultural barriers preventing rural workers taking time away.
Recommendation
The Government should look at how to respond to the occupational demands placed on farmers, agricultural and veterinary workers and any cultural barriers that: prevent these workers from taking time away from work, are detrimental for mental health without opportunity for respite, or are a block on taking time off when sick or injured to recover and to dealing with mental ill-health.
