Farm Business Transition Program Round 2

The Australian Government invites applications for Farm Business Transition Program Round 2.

The program assists sheep producers who have actively participated in the live sheep export by sea trade since 1 July 2020 to transition by developing business plans and adopting alternative farming systems and practices. Grant funding will: 

•    support the development of business plans tailored to individual farm business circumstances, and/or

•    incentivise increased on-farm adoption and uptake of alternative farming systems and practices identified in these plans.

Funding of up to $75,000 (GST exclusive) per applicant is available across both rounds and requires a 1:1 cash co‑contribution (up to 50% of eligible costs; no in‑kind).

Costs incurred before a grant agreement is executed or before the agreed start activity date are not eligible for funding.

Round 1 applicants: If you received $75,000 (GST exclusive) in Round 1, you are not eligible for Round 2. If you received less, you may apply for the remaining balance for different activities. Unsuccessful applicants may reapply.

Final Grant Opportunity Guidelines and supporting documents will be published on GrantConnect when applications open.
