    The Centre for Rural Criminology (UNE) has recently launched the Australian Farm Crime Survey, the first of its kind in nearly twenty years. Please see a link to the survey here: https://bit.ly/farmcrimeune.

    We need to hear from more farmers across Australia!

    Please (re)circulate the information below within your networks. Our objective is to gather representative insights from each state, allowing us to better understand farm crime across the country and develop effective solutions.

    We recognise that supporting this survey means giving up some of your valuable time. To streamline this process, we've developed guidelines for sharing the survey and a selection of media materials you can use (see below). You're also welcome to adapt these resources to fit your network's requirements best. These can be downloaded from the following link: click here

    Thank you for your consideration and support. We would be more than happy to discuss this survey with you and, of course, share the survey results and official report upon completion. You can reach us via email at rucrim@une.edu.au or directly at +61 2 6773 1940

    Together, let's shape a safer future for our rural communities.

    Warm Regards, Dr. Kyle Mulrooney and Dr. Alistair Harkness
