Farm Household Allowance provides financial support for farmers doing it tough

Published: 16 September 2025

Farm Household Allowance (FHA) can help farmers and their partners who need support during times of financial hardship.

FHA is available for farmers and their partners needing a hand during times of financial hardship. FHA includes income support for up to 4 years in each specific 10-year period.

FHA also includes activity supplements up to $10,000 in a lifetime. These can help pay for things like study, training, counselling, professional advice, or finding work away from the farm.

You can claim FHA online, using your myGov account. Find out more about the Farm Household Allowance program and how to get help to prepare your claim.
