No drought declarations needed, support is always available
You don’t need a drought declaration to get support from your bank or to access Australian Government programs.
The Australian Government no longer makes formal drought declarations. Instead, a range of support options are available for customers experiencing hardship—to help farmers and agribusinesses prepare for, manage through, and recover from drought.
Banks can help too. If you’re a farmer or agribusiness feeling financial pressure, contact your lender early. They have dedicated teams ready to help.
