Farm Drought Support Grants closing soon
The Farm Drought Support Grants, previously known as the On-Farm Drought Infrastructure Grants, are due to close on 30 June 2026, or earlier if program funds are exhausted.
The grants are a Victorian Government program delivered by Rural Finance to support eligible primary producers with on-farm infrastructure improvements and essential business activities that improve drought management and preparedness.
Eligible activities may include water infrastructure, stock containment areas, grain and fodder storage, pasture or crop re-establishment, and water carting for livestock and essential farm activities.
Applications are processed by Rural Finance in order of receipt, so farmers are encouraged to seek support early.
Need help understanding the grant or working through your application?
Rural Financial Counselling Service Victoria North East can support eligible farmers to understand the requirements, consider their options and work through the application process.
Contact RFCS Victoria North East for support:

We spent time in Mansfield earlier this week connecting with local businesses and sharing support available through Small Business Financial Counselling following the January 2026 bushfires.

It was incredibly encouraging to see so many people in the room, open conversations, shared experiences, and a strong sense of community moving forward together.

Thank you to the Mansfield Chamber for the warm hospitality, the Delatite Hotel for hosting, and Mansfield Shire Council for coordinating such a valuable session.

We also acknowledge Warwick, one of our Rural Financial Counsellors, and Warren from our Wellbeing team, for their honest and practical insights on the day.

Support doesn’t stop here, we’re here for the long haul. If your business has been impacted and you’d like help with cashflow, budgeting, marketing or simply understanding your next steps, we’re ready when you are.

International Womens Day - Sunday March 8
Today we recognise and celebrate the women who strengthen our rural communities every day.
From the women running farms and small businesses, to those supporting families, volunteering in their communities, leading organisations, and helping others through challenging times, their contribution to regional Australia is immense.

This year’s theme, Balancing the Scales, reminds us that true progress comes when everyone has equity, inclusion and access to opportunity. In rural and regional Australia, that means ensuring women have the same access to services, financial support, business advice, education and leadership opportunities as anyone else.
