FHA helps farmers and their partners in financial hardship. It’s a fortnightly payment for up to 4 years in specific 10 year periods.
They also get support to improve their long term financial situation.
Community groups play a big role in supporting farmers and their partners. We created an FHA eKit to help you promote FHA and help people in your community.
By using the eKit, you agree to reproduce the content exactly as it’s provided. Please don’t change the designs.
In the eKit
You’ll find these resources:
- factsheets
- a poster
- a newsletter article
- a case study
- talking points
- social media messages and tiles
- a guide on how to use the eKit.
If you use assistive technology to help someone in your community and you can’t access the eKit, read more about FHA or call the farmer assistance hotline.
