My Self Reliance: Australia's Community for Preparedness, Off-Grid Living & Holistic Health.
Are you ready to take control of your life and thrive in an ever-changing world?
Welcome to My Self Reliance (MSR), where our mission is to bring people together to educate, inspire, and connect.
Join us at My Self Reliance for empowering events and training that focus on holistic living and the benefits of being prepared.
Founded by Kelli Wilkins, 20-Year Holistic Health Advocate
Growing up in the Northern Rivers of NSW, I learnt very early what it means to be
Self Reliant. Every few years we would be flooded in so our food storage was essential
for living. Pictured above is the view from our front balcony. In the distance is the
valley that leads to Nimbin, where my father was a high school wood work teacher.
As a passionate mother of four, I have spent nearly two decades advocating for a
positive mindset and chemical-free lifestyle. Let's embrace a holistic approach to
preparation and self-care together at My Self Reliance.
Our motto is Prepared, Purposeful and Connected and we are looking for doers like
you—individuals who are committed to achieving complete freedom to act and make informed decisions.
We are building Hubs across Australia. Why Join Now?
The world is experiencing unprecedented change and upheaval. From global chaos to the rapid rise of AI, the pace of change is faster than ever. In such times, being self-reliant is not just an option; it’s a necessity. At MSR, we believe in the power of preparedness, and we have developed a unique method to help you become more self-reliant: P.R.E.P.
The P.R.E.P method is a four-step framework covering Problem Identification, Resource Management, Education for Life, and People and Community.
-
Problem Identification: Understand and assess the problems you face. Whether obvious or hidden, identifying the root of the issue is the first step toward solving it.
-
Resource Management: Evaluate what you have and what you need. Identify the people who can help and the resources necessary to overcome your challenges.
-
Education for Life: Continuous learning is key. Determine what you need to learn to grow, move forward, and develop. Learning is an ongoing journey, and MSR is here to support you.
-
People and Community: Our community is everything. Connect with a tribe of like-minded individuals who provide mutual support, guidance, and encouragement.

FAQ's
Q: I live in the suburbs/city; can I still practice self-reliance?
Yes, absolutely. You do not need 100 acres, a big farm, or an off-grid property to become more self-reliant. Self-reliance starts with your mindset, your home, your family, and the small practical steps you take each week.
If you live in the suburbs or city, you can begin with simple things like building a food storage pantry, learning how to preserve food, growing herbs or vegetables in pots, storing water, reducing chemical use in your home, and building stronger relationships with people around you. At My Self Reliance, we believe self-reliance is not about doing everything alone — it is about being prepared, purposeful, and connected.
Q: What is the P.R.E.P method and how will it help my family?
The P.R.E.P Method is a simple planning tool we use at My Self Reliance to help people feel calmer, clearer, and more prepared.
P.R.E.P stands for:
Problem — What challenge are we facing?
Resources — What do we already have?
Education — What do we need to learn?
People — Who can help, and who are we responsible for?
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the changing world, the P.R.E.P Method helps families break big problems into clear, practical steps. It reduces anxiety because you stop guessing and start making a plan.
