Grants for flood affected farmers

Published on 24 November 2022

A reminder to our farming community that if your crops or agribusiness have been affected by flood water, there is help available.

Primary Producer Recovery Grants provide eligible farmers with up to $75,000 for clean-up, relief and recovery costs.

This grant replaces the $10,000 Primary Producer Flood Clean-Up Relief Grants. Producers who accessed the $10,000 can apply for up to a further $65,000.

If you do not qualify for the Primary Producer Recovery Grant, the Rural Landholder Grant may be an option. It provides up to $25,000 to eligible rural landholders to help cover the costs of damage caused by the floods.

These grants aim to assist small-scale primary producers to recover from the disaster, manage animal welfare and added biosecurity risks.
