About the Role

Elders is seeking expressions of interest for full-time Stock Agent positions across Adelong, Tumut, Gundagai, and the broader Eastern Riverina and Upper Murray region. This role is ideal for individuals looking to build a career in livestock agency, whether experienced or new to the industry. You will be part of a company that significantly invests in regional agriculture and livestock services. Livestock is central to many rural communities and a key focus for Elders' future. We are looking for dedicated individuals who value relationships, hard work, local reputation, and exceptional customer service.

Why This Region?
