00:00:12:11 - 00:00:21:24
Speaker 1
I think working at the RIC, the thing I enjoy the most is the people, the culture we all are here for the same reason: to help our farmers.
00:00:26:22 - 00:00:31:02
Speaker 2
It's just a really good team environment to work in, it’s a real diverse group of people.
00:00:31:22 - 00:00:37:05
Speaker 1
We have got a really good work life balance. You can do a couple of days at home, a couple of days in the office.
00:00:37:20 - 00:00:42:16
Speaker 3
The flexibility is really good, but I like the newness of it. It's a new organisation.
00:00:43:02 - 00:00:48:03
Speaker 4
Yeah, it feels impactful. It feels meaningful, and it's close to my heart.
00:00:53:18 - 00:01:08:07
Speaker 5
What I really enjoy working at the RIC is our customers having our conversations together, seeing everybody in drought itself, seeing them 2 years down the track. It's just incredible where they're up to now and it's just so passionate. I love it.
00:01:09:23 - 00:01:27:18
Speaker 6
It gives a step up to our rural producers when they need it. And the people that work at the RIC seem passionate about delivering the program with that spirit in mind. But I think all of us that live and work in the regions have family and friends that are tied to the land.
00:01:31:18 - 00:01:35:06
Speaker 5
So my connection to ag is actually initially [as] a veterinary nurse.
00:01:35:10 - 00:01:38:14
Speaker 2
I’ve grown up in mixed cattle and cropping country.
00:01:39:16 - 00:01:45:13
Speaker 9
Well, I'm actually a first generation farmer and we've got Angus beef cattle and Aussie white sheep.
00:01:45:13 - 00:01:49:04
Speaker 8
So I have a small hobby farm and I'm also a beekeeper.
00:01:49:12 - 00:01:57:21
Speaker 4
I grew up on a farm out in the central west. You know, coming back later in life to be able to help primary producers is fantastic.
00:01:58:02 - 00:02:05:21
Speaker 3
I've worked in agriculture all my working life, but I grew up in the city. I worked in orcharding, so macadamias, avocados, on the Far North Coast.
00:02:06:20 - 00:02:14:21
Speaker 1
My partner does hay contracting as well. And we've got some Angus cattle and a few sheep and an emu.
00:02:17:01 - 00:02:27:24
Speaker 7
I enjoy the diverse nature of all the staff’s background where they come from not only banking and farming, it's quite a broad spread of people.
00:02:29:17 - 00:02:37:21
Speaker 10
Everybody has a sense of positivity around the business, which is really inspiring and makes it satisfying to work in the RIC.
00:02:38:20 - 00:02:47:10
Speaker 8
I feel that it's got an excellent sense of purpose and it's meaningful looking after regional communities and agribusiness in regional Australia.
