We maintain some of Bendigo’s oldest and largest institutions as our clients, which we attribute to prompt, personal service and providing the right advice, when its needed.
Stability & Reliability
Robertson Hyetts has a long history in Bendigo, with a reputation for stability and reliability.
The firm began when Barkly Hyett joined John Phillip Motteram’s practice on the Bendigo goldfields in 1882. Successive generations of Hyetts continued in the business until Barkly’s grandson John, retired as a consultant in 2002.
The firm is proudly cemented in Bendigo’s history, not least due to the fact Sir John Quick, who helped draft the Federal Constitution, was once a partner.
The current partners, Andrew Pickles and Tim Robertson, embrace their local heritage and maintain the firm’s strong relationships with some of Bendigo’s oldest and largest institutions.
