About Us

Our Vision & Mission

Rural West’s mission is to support and encourage self-reliance with strategies that assist rural people to manage industry change and challenges.

At Rural West we believe that all regional businesses should have access to the knowledge and resources required to build profitable and vibrant futures. Our focus is on showing you what’s possible, what’s available to you and how to make it work for you.

We don’t take away from your self reliance, we encourage it through strategies that assist in managing industry change and challenges.

Rural West have been working through difficult and turbulent times with primary production enterprises and small business for over a decade with great success. We’re here to help!

Our Truth

We really can help

We consistently get the best results possible.

From debilitating pressure to meaningful productivity. We have an effective process and model, specific knowledge and expertise, outside perspective and we deal with business in crisis every day and that experience counts.

We're on your side

We deal with external parties on an equal footing.

Whether it's banks, other lenders, creditors, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or other federal or state government departments; we don’t report to them.
We are on your side.

Confidentiality is important

Our work is confidential.

To the point that we will consider each partner in a business as a separate, private case and even assign them different counsellors if required by your unique situation.

Our services are free *

We have nothing to sell you!

Our services are funded by federal and state government BUT we are an independent, community based not-for-profit with our own independent board.
