FarmReady Reimbursement Grants

In addition to the orginal nine Key Learning Areas the Australian Government is now making the successful FarmReady Reimbursement Grants accessible to primary producers and Indigenous land managers who wish to undertake training in agritourism and food tourism. The FarmReady Reimbursement Grant Guidelines have been amended to include a new key learning area, meeting the government’s election commitment. Training providers interested in registering relevant training courses, including food tourism and agritourism courses, should contact the Program Administrator  (ANU Enterprise).

Primary producers and wild game harvesters are also now encouraged to invest in their own training. The FarmReady Reimbursement Grant Guidelines have been amended to include a co-contribution requirement for primary producers and wild game harvesters. Participants are required to contribute 35 per cent towards their training costs with FarmReady reimbursing the remaining 65 per cent up to a maximum of $1500 per financial year.

The guidelines and forms can be found on the farmready website.

FarmReady Reimbursement Grants help primary producers, wild game harvesters and Indigenous land managers attend approved training courses.

Eligible participants can receive up to $1500 each financial year to cover the cost of approved training activities, with additional support available for associated expenses such as excess travel, accommodation and childcare.

Courses registered with the program aim to improve the capacity of primary producers to adapt to climate change and increase self reliance and preparedness.
