About Rural Health

Hosted by the The McMahon Method in Tumut over the Australia Day long weekend, the regions fittest battled it out in paired tests of strength, endurance and mental resilience. Rural Health was again a proud monetary sponsor of the event.

The Team donated their time and energy over the weekend cutting and splitting another load of red gum for the Tumut Country Women’s Association Mother’s Day weekend firewood raffle.

​The CWA is the largest women’s organisation in Australia. With a strong involvement in helping the local community, creating a network of support and meeting regularly the CWA is an important group within our region and we’re honoured to be able to support them!

The biggest mover is an annual rewards scheme offered by The Gym – Tumut to encourage members to achieve their fitness goals in a competitive team environment. This year Rural Health is a proud prize sponsor donating a recovery pack including foam roller, massage ball, glute bands and Fisiocream.

With regular exercise shown to significantly contribute to improved mental and physical health we strongly support initiatives within our community that encourage increased participation in exercise.
