FarmReady
The Australian Government's FarmReady program aims to boost training opportunities for primary producers and Indigenous land managers, and enable industry, farming groups and natural resource management groups develop strategies to adapt and respond to the impacts of climate change.
Two grants are available through the FarmReady program:
FarmReady Reimbursement Grants - primary producers, wild game harvesters and Indigenous land managers are able to claim up to $1500 each financial year to attend approved training courses, with funding also available to cover excess travel, accommodation and child care expenses. For more information please call the FarmReady Administrators on 1800 087 670.
FarmReady Industry Grants – up to $80,000 each financial year is available to eligible industry, farming and natural resource management groups for projects that develop strategies to manage climate change impacts.
