“The calibre this year is off the charts”

“Every year, we’re amazed by the sheer talent, creativity and determination that shines through these businesses,” Busby says. “We’ve got everything from multigenerational family farms and boutique wineries to tradies, travel operators and even a zoo! The calibre this year is off the charts, and it’s a brilliant reminder of just how central family businesses are to Aussie life.”

She adds that the competition highlights the broad spectrum of what ‘family business’ really means.

“It’s not just mums and dads behind the counter anymore. We’re seeing siblings, cousins, grandparents and even kids rolling up their sleeves to make it work. That kind of dedication deserves to be recognised.”
