Institute of Agriculture

I initially worked in the dairy branch at the then WA Department of Agriculture with exposure to the livestock industries.

Later I worked in the marketing and economics branch and as a farm management consultant with Peter Hackett, during which time I completed a commerce degree.

I formed Falconer and Associates which today has 12 professionals plus support staff. This business operates under three banners. ConsultAg provides technical, succession and business planning services to farm family businesses. AccountAg provides tax, compliance and planning strategies to agriculture. InvestAg was established to cater for demand in financial services and planning.

My experience at UWA in a wide range of disciplines has provided an excellent resource. Agriculture is a challenging industry with a diverse range of disciplines but for me it is the genuine people who are involved and the privilege we are afforded as consultants to be part of a family and help contribute to its success that makes this career rewarding.
