Queensland’s New Drought Assistance - Webinar
2022-09-06 12:30 - 13:30
Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF), Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) and the Queensland Rural Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) will discuss how the new assistance (including training, grants and loans), will help Queensland producers improve their drought preparedness and business risk management.
During the webinar, the team will discuss:
1. What the new drought assistance is and what it means for existing assistance measures such as the Drought Relief Assistance Scheme (DRAS).
2. The Farm Business Resilience Program: such as workshops and support available to help primary producers improve business resilience, drought preparedness, and create a Farm Business Resilience plan.
3. What a Farm Business Resilience Plan is and the benefits of having a plan.
4. How eligible producers will no longer need a drought declaration to access drought preparedness assistance as it will be available at any time – depending on available funding.
5. How primary producers can access the financial assistance available.
For Queensland graziers, by attending the webinar you will gain a better understanding of Queensland’s new drought assistance and how it can help you enhance your business preparedness to drought.
