Dear subscriber
We are pleased to advise that Western Australia, Victoria, Northern Territory and Tasmania have signed up for our Farm Business Resilience and Regional Drought Resilience Planning programs.
Farmers and regional communities in these states and territories will now have access to the skills and support needed to build their resilience to future droughts.
We recently announced Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia, and we expect Western Australia to follow shortly.
All states and territories will work with industry to tailor the program to the needs of their regions, and make sure it builds on and is complementary to other support available.
Farm Business Resilience program
Farmers, including farm managers and their employees will have access to subsidised learning and development opportunities in strategic business management, farm risk management and decision-making, natural resource management, and personal and social resilience.
The program will also support farmers to develop or update their farm business plans and provide access to one-on-one professional advice on their plan.
Regional Drought Resilience Planning program
This program brings regional organisations, local government, communities and industry together to prepare for future drought risks by developing regional drought resilience plans.
You can find more information and stay up to date by visiting our website.
Thank you for your interest in the Future Drought Fund programs.
