November 2026 is the busiest month in this lane, at 10 of the 23 agriculture programs with a published closing date inside the next year.
Who writes the cheque for agriculture projects
A netball club and an exporter are both after funding and they should be looking in completely different places. Here is where this one is.
Funded from both ends.
46% of this lane is council money and 54% comes from a state, territory or Commonwealth agency, so both are worth an application and they are rarely the same size of cheque.

106 separate funders run at least one agriculture program in this catalogue. None of them holds more than 6% of it, so this money is spread across the country rather than concentrated in one agency.

Your project is rarely only one of these.
193 of the 300 agriculture programs in this catalogue are also filed under environment, because that is how the funder describes them. Each of these is the same programs seen from a different door.

Counted as programs carrying both categories. The catalogue never adds these up, because a hall upgrade filed under three purposes is one program and not three.
About Australian agriculture grants
Australian grant programs for farmers, primary producers and agricultural businesses, pulled together from the Commonwealth, all 8 states and territories and local councils across the country. 300 programs are categorised under agriculture in this catalogue and 48 of them are open right now. Open programs closing soonest come first; closed rounds stay on the list, because most Australian grant programs run again and the alert list tells you the night one reopens.
Funded from both ends. 46% of this lane is council money and 54% comes from a state, territory or Commonwealth agency, so both are worth an application and they are rarely the same size of cheque. The largest single funder of agriculture projects in this catalogue is Queensland Government at 18 programs, and 106 separate funders run at least one.
70 of these 300 programs carry a closing date the funder published, and this page shows the month for every one of them. 23 of them close inside the next year, with November 2026 the busiest month at 10. "Not stated" against an amount means the funder published no figure, and a program with no closing date means the funder published no deadline: neither is filled in with a guess. Where an amount is published, most agriculture grants in this catalogue sit between $2k to $2m.
A category earns a page of its own at 25 programs, and the categories overlap on purpose. A council program upgrading a netball court is capital works and sport and community at the same time, because that is how the funder describes it and how three different people will look for it, so this page's count and the other categories' counts do not add up to the 4,049 programs in the catalogue, and this site never adds them up.
Confirm every detail on the funder's own page before you apply. Every program here has a page of its own showing the funder, the amount, who can apply and the date it was last checked. Everything closing in the next 60 days, the directory by state and territory, or every category we track.
