Welcome to the FarmReady Reimbursement Grants Website

Eligible participants are able to claim up to $1500 per financial year to attend FarmReady-registered courses, with additional funding available for associated reasonable travel, accommodation and childcare expenses. Registered courses focus on areas designed to equip primary producers with the tools to manage and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

From 1 July 2011, the Program Guidelines have been amended to include a new Key Learning Area for agritourism and food tourism. The guidelines have also been amended to include a co-contribution requirement for primary producers to invest 35 per cent towards their training costs with FarmReady reimbursing the remaining 65 per cent up to a maximum of $1500 per person per financial year. Indigenous land managers are exempt from a co-contribution requirement.

For more information about these changes please call the FarmReady Program Administrator on 1800 087 670 or email admin@farmready.gov.au or view our Q&A.

New forms are available for Producers and Land Managers and Training Providers
