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.
