About the On Farm Connectivity Program

The Australian Government has committed $53 million for the On Farm Connectivity Program (the Program) over 2023-24 to 2025-26.

This initiative is funded through the Better Connectivity Plan for Regional and Rural Australia. Its core purpose is to enable primary producers in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries to extend connectivity across their fields and take advantage of advanced connected machinery and sensor technology. The overall goal is to drive more sustainable farming practice and improve operational safety.

Round 3
