On Farm Connectivity Program Round 3 Opens Soon.

What is the On Farm Connectivity Program?

The On-Farm Connectivity Program (OFCP) is an Australian Government initiative under the Better Connectivity Plan for Regional and Rural Australia. It provides rebates to primary producers to help cover the cost of on-farm connectivity equipment and technology.

Round 3 of the On-Farm Connectivity Program has a significant funding pool, but it is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. When the pool is exhausted, the program closes. Last time, funding ran out within days. 

Connected Farms is awaiting approval as a supplier*, meaning you can purchase our eligible products and receive the government rebate directly through us. We manage the application process on your behalf.

For more information on the program, visit the Australian Government's Business Grants Hub. 

 *Funding is subject to release of final Round 3 Programme Guidelines by the Australian Government and confirmation of Connected Farms' Approved Supplier status.

Common questions

Q: Is my EOI enough to get funded?
No. Completing an EOI registers your interest but does not secure your funding. To receive the rebate, you need a valid quote from an approved supplier submitted through the Business Grants Hub. Get your quote from us today so you're ready when the program opens.

Q: How much can I claim?
Up to $20,000 (ex. GST) per primary producer. The rebate covers 50% of eligible equipment, installation and training costs. Minimum spend of $2,000 applies (minimum rebate $1,000).

Q: What products are eligible?
Connectivity equipment including CommsXtend units, Wi-Fi expansion packs, private LTE solutions, cameras, solar-powered connectivity, and connectivity trailers. 

Q: Do I need to purchase before I apply?
No - and you shouldn't. The quote must be submitted to the Business Grants Hub before purchase. Once your application is approved, then you purchase. We manage this process for you.

Q: What if I participated in Round 1 or 2?
Round 3 gives priority to first-time applicants, but previous participants can still apply. Get in touch and we'll advise on your eligibility.
