FarmReady
The Australian Government has allocated $26.5 million over four years to boost training opportunities for primary producers, and to 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 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.
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.
