Our Approach
Caason Group is a sophisticated investment group and private family office. We are based in Melbourne, Australia, with a global outlook.
Our passion for supporting innovation and sustainability is represented in our six main investment sectors: agriculture; exploration, mining and energy; environmental technologies; information technology; medical supply; and telecommunications.
We work in the following areas:
- Investments
We hold financial interests in over 20 companies – including Food, Fibre and Land International Group (FFLI); Ceres Tag; Woomera Mining (ASX: WML); Future Energy Investments (FEI); Peppermint Innovation (ASX: PIL); MOVOX, RecallAll, RebillAll; and Red Piranha. We regularly look to expand our portfolio. - Operation of Caason Group companies
Aileron Pastoral Holdings (APH) is our Northern Territory livestock cattle station that we purchased in 2014/15. We operate over 408,000 hectares and this land holding positions us as one of Australia’s largest private land owners.
Ti Tree Food & Fodder (TTFF) is a sustainable livestock food and fodder producer with a focus on harvesting organic hay products at its Northern Territory site. Located two hours north-east of Alice Springs and set on over 2,750 acres, the property has a lush growing history backed by impressive agriculture infrastructure and water assets. - Innovation/R&D consultancy services
Our professional team has proven experience in taking initiatives from concept through to delivery. We support the design, planning and program management stages. We also offer R&D tax incentive compliance support. - Capital raising
We regularly provide access to our extensive capital raising networks.

Two examples include the IPOs for 5G Networks (ASX: 5GN) and Woomera Mining (ASX: WML). - International trade
