FarmReady Reimbursement Grants

I received this email recently from the government and thought I might share it as it may be a good time to study some marketing or business skills to build your agritourism business. See their website below for more details.

Reminder – FarmReady Financial Year Eligibility

FarmReady Reimbursement Grants provide funding of up to $1500 to eligible primary producers, wild game harvesters and Indigenous land managers to attend approved training courses. The grant can be used to cover course costs and additional funding is available for travel, accommodation and childcare expenses.

FarmReady registered courses aim to improve the capacity of primary producers to adapt to the impacts of climate change and increase self reliance and preparedness.

Over 520 training courses are registered with FarmReady, on a variety of topics including:

> understanding the implications of climate change
> whole farm planning
> financial management
> farm business management

FarmReady Reimbursement Grants are capped at $1500 per financial year. Eligible primary producers and indigenous land managers will need to have participated in pre-approved training by 30 June 2010 and have submitted all necessary paperwork by no later than 30 July 2010 to access available support in the 2009/10 financial year.

To see what courses are available, confirm that you are eligible and claim your reimbursement, visit www.farmready.gov.au or phone 1800 087 670.
