Agriculture Resilience and Recovery Program Victoria

14 October 2021

The Victorian Government is fast-tracking recovery for businesses from the past 18 months of COVID-19 restrictions.

The Government has announced funding available to businesses in the industries of primary producing, food processing and accommodation providers located in regional Victoria to deliver financial support to assist with the implantation of COVIDSafe standards for employees.


In particular, the funding has been designed to provide on-farm infrastructure, accommodation, business upgrades or new facilities, support and training. This is a great opportunity for eligible businesses to upgrade workers accommodation, staff kitchens, lunchrooms, make modifications to processing, packaging and manufacturing lines for a COVIDSafe work place.

The aim of this grant is to provide businesses with the support needed to prepare for the upcoming peak seasons of spring shearing & harvesting. Whilst also implementing COVIDSafe guidelines within the work place through training and education.


To be eligible to apply applicants must be one of the following:


  1. Employ staff and have a primary producer or food processing operation located in rural or regional Victoria; or

  2. Be a local Government Authority, a not for profit organisation; or an accommodation provider.



The program provides three types of business support:


  • Business Resilience and Recovery – to support businesses to adapt their operations to maintain production and manage risks. 


  • Place-based Worker Support – to support the development of COVIDSafe worker accommodation. 

  • Training and Education – to provide support for farm and food processing workers to access information and services and ensure businesses are providing COVIDSafe work practices.


The grant, which was announced on the 4th October, allows for individual businesses to receive funds between $10,000 and $300,000 and successful applicants will be given up to 50% of the total cost of the project.


Applications close 31st December, 2021.


Contact Mulcahy & Co today for more information and to confirm your businesses eligibility.
