For the purpose of the Drought Relief Assistance Scheme, to be eligible for assistance you must be a primary producer who normally spends more than 50 per cent of your labour on, and derives more than 50 per cent of your gross income from a primary production enterprise.

Flood information: Producers restocking after the floods should check their eligibility for further assistance with DAF. Restocking may impact the type of financial assistance they can receive. Please call DAF on 13 25 23 to discuss individual circumstances.
