Dr Tim Driscoll is a Clinical Psychologist and State Manager for Mental Health at the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section), where he leads the strategic delivery of mental health and wellbeing services across rural and remote Queensland. With a strong focus on community connection, access, and cultural responsiveness, Tim works to ensure that even the most isolated regions have support systems that are practical, sustainable, and grounded in local context.
Raised in regional Western Australia, Tim brings both lived experience and clinical insight to his work. He has led a range of initiatives addressing mental health needs in farming communities. His work spans program design, disaster recovery, workforce development, and mental health literacy—often in places where the paddock and the clinic are separated by hours of red dirt.
Tim is passionate about strengthening mental health support in the agricultural sector, recognising the unique pressures faced by primary producers, including drought, isolation, succession stress, and the ever-changing economic landscape. He regularly collaborates with agribusiness, community leaders, and government to advocate for services that make sense on the ground.
At AgXchange Australia, Tim is keen to share insights from the frontline, learn from others driving change in rural industries, and champion the role of mental health in building resilient, future-focused agricultural communities.
