Veterans
Tinkers Farm offers nature-based support for veterans in a calm farm environment. Sessions are delivered by a Nurse Practitioner and Credentialed Mental Health Nurse, combining clinical knowledge with practical, experiential activities that support wellbeing, confidence and recovery. Activities may include working with horses, farm animals, gardening, and other hands-on farm tasks. DVA Gold and White Cards are accepted.
How Sessions Work
Sessions combine conversation, practical activity and time outdoors in a structured but informal environment.
Activities may support:
• Emotional regulation and stress management
• Rebuilding confidence and sense of purpose
• Improving communication and connection
• Developing practical coping strategies
• Re-engaging with meaningful activity and routine
No prior experience with animals is required.
Who This May Suit
Sessions are delivered as clinical consultations in a farm setting, integrating discussion, reflection and practical activities to support mental health and wellbeing.
This approach may suit veterans who:
• Prefer informal or outdoor environments
• Find traditional office-based therapy challenging
• Benefit from practical, hands-on experiences
• Want to reconnect with meaningful activity and nature
Sessions are delivered at Tinkers Farm in Moorleah, North-West Tasmania.
