Drought Loans

Australian Government accepts applications on an ongoing basis and publishes no closing date. Ongoing rounds do get paused and closed without much notice, so this listing is re-read every night and the alert list is told the day it changes.

Australian Government publishes a funding amount of Up to $2m, noted as: Loans up to $2 million.. Confirm it in the guidelines on the official page before you build a budget around it.

Australian Government lists this program as open to companies, partnerships, sole traders and trusts. That is a starting filter rather than the full eligibility test: the criteria in the funder's guidelines are what decide an application.

It was open now when we last read Australian Government's own page, on 24 Oct 2026. Every source is re-read nightly and this page carries the date of the last read.

Drought Loans is offered by Australian Government in Commonwealth of Australia. Applications are made through the funder, never through GrantWindow: we take no applications, charge no fee and act as no intermediary. Any site offering to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
