The branch staff at Elders Bairnsdale all have a strong connection historically and emotionally with Gippsland. They all have strong ties to the community either through sport, social or voluntary community programs. This was evident when the Black Summer bushfires brought devastation to the land, the animals and the people of the region.
After the fires, the team at Elders Bairnsdale team spent countless days writing grant applications to minimise the burden of paperwork on clients already dealing with the trauma of fighting fires or caring for properties and stock.
This shows the incredible level of commitment that Elders Bairnsdale has for their customers and their community.
