Not everyone realises that our local RFCS Victoria West supports rural and regional small business owners in addition to primary producers.

RFCS Victoria West has 8 small business financial counsellors on the team, with Cauis Ryan supporting the City of Ballarat, Central Highlands, and the Wimmera-Grampians.

Small business financial counsellors can help small business owners:

✓ Identify options and opportunities
✓ Access government grants and packages
✓ Negotiate with financial or insurance providers
✓ Plan for the next months and for the future

Caius notes, “We live in our communities, we work in our communities and we understand our communities. You might need help sorting out the current government grants and packages, or some help business recovery planning for the new normal. We come to you and our support is always free, ongoing, independent and non-judgemental. We also have a well-being counsellor available to anyone working with a financial counsellor, to ensure you are fully supported.”
