Free business planning support across North Queensland

Helping you prepare for the future, with people who understand your farm business.

The Farm Business Resilience Program offers tailored support for North Queensland farmers, graziers and their employees across all commodities to prepare for the future.

The program offers a comprehensive approach to strengthening your business by enabling you to:

  • Evaluate all key aspects of your operation, including production, natural resource management, financial performance, workplace health and safety, succession planning, and personal goals.

  • Access valuable learning opportunities through targeted training and workshops.

  • Identify effective strategies to mitigate business risks.

  • Enhance farm management practices and overall business performance.

  • Provide referrals to trusted, local project partners and industry experts.

  • Develop a tailored Farm Business Resilience Plan with ongoing support.

Completing a Farm Business Resilience Plan not only equips you with a clear strategy for your business but enables you to apply for drought preparedness and recovery support through QRIDA, including access to low-interest loans and grants.

The plan also serves as a powerful tool for aligning stakeholders—such as financiers, accountants, solicitors, and employees—on the direction and goals of your business.

Support from a Farm Business Planning Officer is free, confidential, and impartial.
