The Federal Executive of Australian Country Party - Country Alliance unanimously endorsed Mr Fidge late Wednesday evening.
Party Secretary Darren Cooper said said Mr Fidge fought off other potential candidates for the seat.
"There were two other members interested in applying for the candidacy but they decided not to apply to allow Julian to have a clear run as he had proven his worth to the party in the 2014 Victorian election,” Mr Cooper said.
"The party is delighted to have Julian put his hand up for Indi and he will prove to be a formidable candidate that is not scared to take on issues head on."
