In the heart of the Lower Eyre is the ‘can-do’ town of Cummins. Surrounded by sweeping fields of golden wheat, green barley, and yellow canola crops this close-knit town consistently punches above its weight.

Our Town Cummins operates as a health promotion charity that takes a localised approach to promoting health, wellbeing, and connection. We do so by partnering with community to build on our collective strengths and learn why people may be facing mental health challenges; supporting activities that create an inclusive and supportive community for everyone in Cummins; building capabilities of people living in and around the township of Cummins; and by emphasising the importance of education, awareness, and early intervention as protective factors that prevent mental distress.

The Our Town Cummins vision is simple: A mentally fit community where the collective voice of lived experience underpins decision-making when it comes to championing mental wellbeing.
