Rural Financial Counselling Service

Funded by the Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, the Rural Financial Counselling service provides free rural financial counselling to primary producers, fishers and small rural businesses* who are suffering financial hardship and who have no alternative sources of impartial support.

*’Small rural business’ for the purposes of the Program is defined as a rural business that employs no more than ten full-time-equivalent (38 hours per week) employees and provides the majority of its services to primary producers and is directly involved in primary production (e.g. fencing, harvesting, spraying or stock management).
