Farm Business Transition Program

Grant Description

This open competitive program provides transition assistance to sheep producers impacted by the phase-out of live sheep exports by sea, enabling them to plan and adapt their businesses ahead of the trade ending on 1 May 2028. Grants of up to $75,000 (GST exclusive) per eligible applicant (matched 1:1 by the applicant) support the development of farm business plans and incentivise the on-farm adoption of alternative systems and practices. Intended beneficiaries are Australian sheep producers who have participated in the live export supply chain, with key focus areas including business planning, professional and technical advice, training, infrastructure and equipment upgrades, adoption of technologies (e.g. traceability, carbon farming), improved animal welfare, and enhanced feed, water and pasture management to increase capacity for domestic processing.
