Round 3 of the Australian Government's On Farm Connectivity Program is now open, providing eligible primary producers with rebates of between $1,000 and $20,000 (GST exclusive) for approved connectivity and ag-tech equipment. Applications close on 15 October 2026.
The program provides rebates covering up to 50% of the cost of eligible equipment, with a maximum rebate of $20,000 (GST exclusive). Funding is available for approved connectivity and agricultural technology solutions supplied through a Round 3 Approved Supplier.
Eligible equipment may help producers:
The Australian Government has published a list of approved suppliers and eligible equipment to help producers compare available options before applying.
The program is open to eligible primary producers in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Priority will be given to businesses that have not previously received support through earlier rounds of the program.
With a national funding pool of $10 million available, producers considering an investment in connectivity or digital technology may benefit from reviewing their options sooner rather than later.
If you're considering an application, it can be worth reviewing how the proposed investment fits within your broader business goals and budget.
Combining a deep understanding of regional businesses with practical advice, Boyce can help you understand the program requirements, assess the financial implications of an investment and prepare any supporting financial information that may be required as part of the application process.
Get in touch with your local Boyce office to discuss whether the On Farm Connectivity Program could support your next technology investment.
