Livestock Transport Industry Transition - Round 2

The Livestock Transport Industry Transition Program will assist livestock transport businesses, including those who have made investments in transportation of sheep and the delivery of essential export-related goods such as feed, bedding, water systems, veterinary supplies and handling equipment specifically for the live sheep export by sea trade, to transition to other transport-related activities which may require further investment.

Grant funding can be used for planning, professional and technical advice, training and co-funded investment in asset modification and acquisition.

Grant funding of up to $40,000 (GST exclusive) over both rounds, covers up to 50% of eligible costs is available. Cash co-contribution of 1:1 is required - the applicant must match the dollar value of the grant funding approved. In-kind contributions are not accepted as matching funding. Costs incurred before a grant agreement is executed or the agreed activity start date are ineligible. 

You must demonstrate a connection to the live sheep export by sea trade since 1 July 2020.
