AS the year draws to a close and the festive season settles in, we would like to thank our readers for inviting The Adviser into your homes, workplaces and conversations throughout 2025.
This year has brought its share of challenges and change across our region, but it has also been filled with stories of resilience, generosity and community spirit. From local achievements and grassroots events to moments of celebration and reflection, it has been a privilege to share the stories that matter to the Goulburn Valley.
Our thanks extend to the individuals, businesses, community groups and organisations who have trusted us to tell their stories, and to those who have taken the time to read, support and engage with local journalism. Your support allows us to continue shining a light on the people and issues shaping our community.

In 2025, we were honoured to receive the Victorian Country Press Association award for Best Locally Produced Advertising Campaign, recognising a series of road safety messages created in partnership with Road Safe Goulburn Valley.
Throughout the year, we also delivered a range of special features celebrating remarkable achievements and community service, including the 11th annual Our Goulburn Valley magazine, Hansen Yuncken’s 100th anniversary of building in regional Victoria, Lister House Grand Relocation, Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton’s 30th anniversary, and many others we are proud to produce in collaboration with local businesses and organisations.
As we head into Christmas, we hope the season brings you time to rest, reconnect and enjoy the company of those around you. From all of us at The Adviser, we wish you a safe and happy Christmas and a bright start to the year ahead.
We look forward to continuing the journey with you in 2026.
