AustraliaRural Financial Counselling Service Program 2027 to 2032
The Australian Government is inviting applications through an open process to apply to deliver services under 1.12 Rural Programs, Rural Financial Counselling Services from 2027 to 2032. This initiative provides free and independent financial counselling to eligible farmers, fishers, foresters and small-related enterprises who are experiencing, or at risk, of financial hardship. This program is ongoing and is subject to regular and open approaches to market. Funding rounds and approaches have been continually reviewed and adjusted over the years to improve the performance of the program and drive efficiencies to support structural adjustment in the agricultural sector in times of financial hardship. The objective of the program is to support structural adjustment through transitioning clients out of immediate financial crisis or concerns, assessing business viability to make informed decisions about the future of the business and improving financial wellbeing and resilience through building clients’ financial knowledge and skills, and by referring clients to other professional services. The ultimate outcome is financially capable agricultural, fishing and forestry businesses that are profitable, financially self-reliant and resilient. Grantees drive these changes through case management and effective and efficient client engagement. A key performance indicator for the program is that a minimum of 80% of clients receiving services are case-managed and on exiting the service have come to a better understanding of their financial position and have met their goals to make an informed decision outlined in the program outcomes and objectives listed in the program logic.
AustraliaRemote Jobs and Economic Development Program
The RJED Program seeks to fund 3,000 new jobs over 3 years to support job seekers currently participating in or that are eligible for Remote Australia Employment Services (RAES), to move into employment. There are two streams of funding available, Job Creation – to fund the cost of wages and related entitlements, and the Community Jobs and Business Fund (CJBF) – to provide funding for equipment, operational costs and infrastructure to directly support bringing jobs created under the Job Creation stream into existence. For the purposes of the RJED program, a new job is: •a job which does not already exist within an organisation and does not displace an existing employee, or •a job created in a RAES Community Project. As job allocations are based on NIAA regions, you will need submit a separate application for each NIAA region where you intend to deliver a job. For example: If you apply for jobs located in more than one RAES region, but all those jobs are in the same NIAA region, you will only need to submit one application for those jobs. If you apply for jobs located in more than one RAES region, and those jobs are in different NIAA regions, you will need to submit a separate application for the jobs in each NIAA region. Further guidance on the linkages between RAES regions and NIAA regions are in the RJED Grant Opportunity Guidelines (RJED GOGs) at Appendix A.
