Ridewest
RideWest is inspired to make a difference to mental health for regional Queenslanders. By raising vital funds and awareness of the need for more mental health support programs for people living in regional areas.
RideWest is a 1,311km biennial bike ride from Brisbane to Longreach raising money for mental health support programs for regional Queenslanders. Over the last 12 years, the ride has raised over $1,400,000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service so that they can deliver their Wellbeing Out West program. The ride is a challenge. It is about digging deep, working as a team and reaching out to support each other.

Future NTCA Program
The Future NTCA was first established in 2014 to foster and develop leadership skills within the Northern Territory beef industry’s next generation of leaders.
The program has seen participation by a diverse group of young Territorians with a wide range of backgrounds and skills, all aspiring to contribute to strengthening the pastoral industry. The program has been successful in optimising the potential of the industry’s youth; capturing new ideas, networking and injecting renewed enthusiasm.
AAM are a proud sponsor of the program.
