Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days Program

Overview

Cash flow support provided through the program will help to ensure the sustainability of agricultural show societies and the agricultural shows they conduct. It will also support the agricultural field day organisers and the agricultural field days they conduct. Agricultural shows and field day events are the most authentic and accessible displays of Australian farming and regional life.

Agricultural shows and field days also deliver significant social and economic benefits to the communities in which they are held. The Community Grants Hub administers the program according to the Commonwealth Grants Rules and Guidelines 2017 (CGRGs).
