The charity is close to the heart of incoming Ms Kocks, who is the Egans' daughter and was selected by the board of directors to take over the role.

Ms Kocks has been involved with the charity since it was founded in 2002, said was looking forward to continuing her parents' important work helping farmers.

"I have big shoes to fill, but I am committed to carrying on the legacy my parents have worked so hard to build," Ms Kocks said.

"My parents have dedicated the past 17 years to providing vital assistance to Australian farmers affected by floods, droughts, poverty and isolation - it's their personal touch that has helped the charity grow and thrive over the years.

"For the first 12 years, they managed Aussie Helpers by themselves. My father would take it upon himself to answer each and every call from people seeking help and a friendly ear. He wanted to know everyone's story so he could give the best help possible."
