Listen: ABC Western Plains interview with Jacqueline Emery

Our CEO, Jacqui Emery, recently joined Cameron Hughes on ABC Western Plains for a conversation about Royal Far West's work, the upcoming Ride for Country Kids 2026, and why supporting children in rural and remote communities is more important than ever.

In the interview, Jacqui shared insights into the challenges faced by country kids – from limited access to developmental and mental health services, to the growing need for sustainable support across regional Australia. She also spoke about the impact of Royal Far West’s programs and how events like the Ride for Country Kids help raise vital funds and brings visibility to the gaps in services and the resilience of families doing it tough in regional Australia.
