About us

At Grey Shrike, our name is inspired by a remarkable Australian bird: the Grey Shrike Thrush. This small bird possesses a melodious, song-like call that varies from region to region, much like the diverse accents across Australia.

Just as the Grey Shrike Thrush adapts its song to its environment, Grey Shrike, as a consultancy, understands and appreciates the nuances across different farming businesses, landscapes, and production systems.  

Communication is at the heart of our approach. We believe that effective communication is a two-way street and the most valuable tool for learning and growth. This philosophy guides our interactions with clients as we work collaboratively to navigate change and achieve sustainable outcomes.  

Our mission is to support the agricultural industry to be sustainable – environmentally, financially, and socially. We recognise that the best way to achieve this is by empowering farmers and related businesses, taking the hard work out of change through learning, implementing new technologies, and fostering mutual support. We uphold the values of honesty and transparency in all our dealings.
