Farm Drought Support Grants

The Farm Drought Support Grants (formerly On-Farm Drought Infrastructure Grants) program is available to assist primary production businesses to implement on-farm infrastructure improvements and undertake essential business activities that improve drought. Eligible farmers will receive up to $5,000 (ex-GST) as a co-contribution grant that will support activities including water infrastructure upgrades (such as pipes, tanks, troughs and dams), stock containment areas, and grain and fodder storage. New eligible activities have been added to the program, including water carting and pasture re-establishment in recognition of the broad pressures farmers are managing. See the program guidelines for the full list of eligible activities.
