Living with drought - who can help and how
Video and animation resources

Farming is a business, and drought is just one of the many risk’s farmers face.

​

There’s no one right way to prepare for, manage through and recover from drought, but there are a range of people and organisations that can provide valuable advice and support.

​

Banks can assist with things like farm management deposit accounts and lending options, agronomists can help boost productions, and accounts can advise on ways to diversify income or limit losses.

​

State and federal governments can also help, with some offering farm business planning, research and climate tools and different kinds of tax deductions or rebates.

​

Farmers and farm businesses may also be eligible for income support, loans, financial counselling and mental health services.

​

Local farm industry groups are also available to share what other farmers are doing and are a great connection to local communities through local organisations.

​

Drought is a shared responsibility, and everyone has a role to play.
