Primex in the Community
Primex Field Days is more than a three-day agricultural event, it is a critical regional platform connecting industry, families and community across the Northern Rivers.
Since 1985, Primex has invested in long-standing partnerships that strengthen education, health and regional resilience. From 2026, as Primex enters its new era at the Lismore Showgrounds, that commitment continues.
Each year, Primex delivers an estimated $3 million+ economic injection into Lismore and the surrounding region during event week, supporting accommodation, hospitality, fuel, tourism and local service providers. Wherever possible, Primex works with regional businesses to ensure direct community benefit.
As a Regional Leader with Business NSW – North Coast and a member of Business Lismore, Primex contributes to broader regional growth and industry confidence.
For more than four decades, Primex has partnered with the Country Women’s Association, raising funds to support education resources for children and families in need. We also proudly support organisations including the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, TIACS, Lismore Show Society and Far North Coast Rugby Union.
Beyond direct support, Primex invites selected charity and community groups to participate at the event, providing exposure, engagement and meaningful fundraising opportunities.
Primex is not just an event. It is essential regional infrastructure, investing in the strength of our community.
Charity Support
Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service started in Ballina in 1982 and now serves the Northern NSW community from its helibase in Lismore. The Service has flown over 10,000 missions during this time and performs on average over a mission per day.
As a registered charity the Service seeks to fundraise over $3.5M each year to keep its operations flying. The support of Primex is truly significant and will help to ensure the Westpac Rescue Helicopter can continue to respond to those in need 24/7.
