ABOUT US

Champions of the Bush (COTB) is a group of businesses and not-for-profit organisations that operate in regional Australia to facilitate advocacy, networking and mentoring with and for other regional organisations and communities.

​

Members are both 'Champions' of their communities and industries in their own right, and committed to championing the cause of regional and rural Australia.

​

Our members have made a major investment in the country, both personally and financially, and are committed to sustainable regional development.

 

Members share a common concern that society currently undervalues the contributions made to the wealth of our nation by the 30 per cent of Australians who live outside metropolitan areas.
