Drought Support Funding Available for Victoria

Map drougth funding

The Victorian Government is providing direct drought support of $69 million for farmers across Victoria impacted by drought and difficult seasonal conditions.
This is in response to deteriorating seasonal conditions across the state, with some areas of Victoria now recording significant rainfall deficiencies extending back to 2023. Learn more about the package.

Eligible farmers across the state can access On-Farm Drought Infrastructure grants of up to $5,000 to support on-farm drought management improvements.
Recognising the ongoing impact of drought for farmers in south west Victoria, eligible grant recipients can access an increased amount up to $10,000 across 11 local government areas and parts of West Wimmera. Eligible activities under the grant program are being expanded to cover water carting activities and pasture re-establishment in recognition of the broad pressures farmers are managing.

Funding announced earlier in mid-May provides farm businesses technical decision-making support right across the state. Agricultural service providers are invited to submit a request for quotation to support the delivery of the technical decision-making project. See the elegibility map below.
