“…Seven of the 31 articles published across these decades in the Journal of Sociology , and which used ‘rural’, ‘regional’ or ‘remote’ in their titles or abstracts, examined farmers and farming. 2 The remaining articles focused on previously under-researched populations in rural research, such as vulnerable parents with housing issues (Reupert et al, 2015), Myannmar refugees (Hughes, 2018) and older gay men living with HIV (Gardiner, 2018). Studies of rural Australia engaging with race were confined to an ethnography of black–white relations in Bourke by Cowlishaw (2006) and a media analysis of depictions of Aurukun by Carden (2017: 604).…”

In reflecting on the last two decades of publications by Australian rural studies scholars in three major disciplinary journals, this article argues that the field of Australian rural sociology has failed to address racial inequality and class difference. While we note a burgeoning of feminist rural research challenging the historical emphasis on the white male farmer, this too has tended to occlude class and race, as is demonstrated in our analysis of the national ‘Invisible Farmer’ project. Accordingly, we point to a need to bring anti-racist work and scholarship to bear on our subdiscipline. In particular, we call for Australian rural studies scholars to engage with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander scholarship to interrogate whiteness as a category of difference and to open a discussion about relinquishing settler power, including in the academy. We emphasise the need for actions to understand and challenge the continuing dominance and privilege of whiteness and the fundamentally classed colonial project in Australian rural studies.

“…Australian research on parents and housing difficulties in rural communities found that parents described interrelated issues associated with mental illness, substance use, housing difficulties and losing access to children, and families in rural areas found it difficult to obtain appropriate housing because 'everyone knew everyone' (Reupert et al 2015).…”

Mental illness impacts on more than the individualfamily members, including children, are inevitably impacted by their relative's illness. Moreover, the issues for families living with mental illness in rural and remote communities are considerable and often result in an overreliance on families for practical and emotional support. The subsequent burden of care alongside a lack of dedicated and timely services requires a specialized practitioner and systems response. The stigma associated with increased visibility of mental illness in rural and remote areas is another issue that impacts help-seeking and mental health outcomes. While the mental health issues for those living in rural and remote communities are a feature of much research, this chapter provides a new perspective by discussing the specific needs of families living with mental illness in these communities. Particularly at-risk groups including Aboriginal and Torres Strait families, culturally and linguistically different families, and others will also be presented. Implications for practice, services, and professional and resource development conclude the chapter. Structural, organizational, and practice change is required to identify family members and to effectively recognize and address the needs of those with a mental illness and their families.
