The free sessions are open to everyone, including people who are not Rabobank clients, and are limited to 30 places.
So far, the Rabo Client Councils have delivered 33 sessions across the country, providing family farm succession and business transition skills and tools to over 770 participants
The sessions are not aimed at addressing specific family issues, but are an opportunity to receive information and first-hand knowledge.
Rabobank state manager for Victoria and Tasmania Sally Bull said the sessions have been developed to support farming families preparing for the transfer of their agricultural business across generations.
Ms Bull encouraged farming families to register for the sessions and said “through open communication and informed decision-making, families can create strategies that uphold their family farming businesses’ values and secure its future.”
“Transitioning a farm business successfully involves much more than just legal or financial considerations,” Ms Bull said.
Rabo Client Council member and Jingellic-based dairy farmer Meaghan Daly said the sessions provide an opportunity to learn together and engage in group discussions with other farming families.
“Getting an early start on planning is key for a smooth business transition,” Ms Daly said.
“Tackling succession ahead of time helps minimise disagreements from differing expectations and avoids problems that can arise if the process is delayed.”
The Yarrawonga session will be held on Tuesday, June 16 from 8am to 2pm.
The Wodonga session will be held on Wednesday, June 17 from 8.30am to 2pm.
