HOW safe is your farm? That’s the question RACV and Neighbourhood Watch want Victorian farmers to answer as part of the new How safe is my farm initiative.

The latest figures from the Victorian Crime Statistics Agency show more than 2000 offences were committed on Victorian farms in 2022, with theft – including theft of firearms and livestock – accounting for over 60 per cent of crimes.
