Farm Management Grants

What assistance was available?
The Farm Management Grants Scheme supported primary producers in developing a Farm Business Resilience Plan, to recognise risks associated with production, including climate and weather (such as drought), as well as biosecurity and natural resource management and business risks including financial and market factors.
The rebates helped to provide assistance in supporting the cost of seeking eligible professional advice to develop a Farm Business Resilience Plan. A QRIDA Sustainability Loan may be available to help in implementing the activities and outcomes from a Farm Business Resilience Plan.
Primary producers could apply for a rebate of 50 per cent (up to a maximum of $2,500) for the costs of advice in developing a Farm Business Resilience Plan. These plans were intended to assist producers in identifying risks, such as drought, for their property and outlining the steps necessary to respond to those risks.
Farm Business Resilience Plans helped producers to:
- recognise risks associated with production, including climate and weather (such as drought)
- identify business risks, including financial and market factors, and how to respond to those risks and
- understand personal risks such as workplace health and safety.
The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) offer a free Farm Business Resilience Plan template. Visit their website to download and complete your plan.
