Goulburn, Murray, Hume Agcare Ltd (GMHAgcare) is a non-profit organisation that provides free, confidential and impartial financial counselling and support services to primary producers, fishers and small businesses in rural communities.
We are funded by the Australian and Victorian State Governments to deliver the Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) program for the Goulburn Murray Hume region.
The objectives of the RFCS program are to:
- provide clients with access to financial information, options, decision support and referrals to other sources of industry, professional and government assistance
- empower clients to make their own decisions on how to most effectively manage change and adjustment issues
- deliver effective, flexible and responsive services to those in need of assistance.
The RFCS program helps clients to:
- effectively manage change and adjustment
