Access funded support from expert advisers, offering both on-farm assistance and group workshops.
Do you own and operate a South Australian grain or livestock business?
Do you want to learn how to manage and adapt to risk?
Do you want to improve your business's economic, environmental and social resilience?
Access funded support from expert advisers through the AgRi-Silience program, a Livestock SA initiative, offering on-farm assistance and group workshops to help you and your business recover and adapt to climate and other challenges.
How the Program Supports You and Your Team:
Improve your financial literacy and, in the process, learn new ways to build the economic viability of your business.
Become more confident in decision-making by conducting risk assessments.
Learn new skills and techniques to build your own personal resilience, helping you to concentrate on the business at hand rather than dwell on the negatives.
Become high-performing contributors regarding decision-making and operations.
Participants will complete the program with a Resilience Roadmap, designed to enhance resilience while improving long-term productivity, profitability, and sustainability.
How It Works:
Local facilitators will provide guided learning, expert advice, and coaching, supported by specialists in strategic farm business management, risk management, decision-making, natural resource management, and personal and social resilience.
You’ll receive personalised one-on-one support from these experts to strengthen your business’s resilience.
Each participating business is required to contribute $500 (ex. GST), with potential reimbursement for travel and childcare costs available from PIRSA if needed.
To maximise the program's benefits, it's recommended that two members from each farm business attend the training. Additional participants are welcome, subject to availability, but will be required to cover the full program cost.
This project is part of the Farm Business Resilience Program and is jointly funded through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Government of South Australia.
Applications are currently closed for the remainder of 2025. If you are interested in completing the program in future rounds, please email sashby@livestocksa.com.au.
