Funding

Funding for the Rural Financial Counselling Service is received from both State and Federal Government.

RFCS Programme grants provide funding to state, regional and community level organisations to deliver rural financial counselling services throughout Australia to primary producers, fishers and small rural businesses suffering financial hardship.

The service providers help clients manage the challenges of industry change and adjustment and becoming self-reliant.

Organisations were eligible to apply if they had strong ties to the rural community sound corporate credentials, and the ability to provide rural financial counselling services.
