This study analyses the features, processes and outcomes of a range of effective broking practices in Australian rural industry, including, but not limited to, the activities of government agencies and industry organisations. It has the potential to bring about significant change in rural industry by identifying new ways to match needs to training and by providing step by step instructions on how to broker effectively. Findings from the study are timely given that a range of options for facilitating training needs to be explored, trialled and implemented prior to the likely cessation of FarmBis funding in 2008.
