Two facts are not on this page: the day, and the door.
GrantWindow holds the exact day Government of South Australia published, the funder's own closing time, a countdown that stays right and the direct link to their application page. A free trial opens all of them, here and on every other program in the catalogue.

What SA Drought Loan Scheme funds
This program provides low-interest loans to eligible drought affected primary producers in SA. The SA Drought Loan Scheme supports drought affected grain and livestock farmers in South Australia’s Murray Mallee, Riverland and Upper North regions, through access to urgent financial assistance through the provision of low-interest loans. The loans are for working capital only and cannot be used to refinance existing debt.

How to apply
Applications are made through
Government of South Australia
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to Government of South Australia's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- Applications close in December 2026. Government grant portals are busiest on the final day and several of them shut on the stroke of the deadline, so the practical advice is to submit a day early.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.
