All farmers, anywhere in Victoria, can register for a free consultation with a farm management specialist.

The advice is suited to your situation, from a consultant that you nominate from the registered panel. 

Agronomists, livestock nutritionists, veterinarians, pasture and grazing specialists and farm business advisors, can support you with: 

• feed and water budgeting 
• farm safety and workload management  
• farm business and financial management 
• soil health and pasture re-establishment 
• animal health and welfare, and more.
