This includes businesses that invested in the transport of sheep and export-related goods (e.g. feed, bedding, water systems, veterinary supplies, handling equipment).

  • of up to $40,000 (GST exclusive) is available per applicant across both rounds.

Round 1 applicants: If awarded $40,000 (GST exclusive) in Round 1, you are not eligible for Round 2. If awarded less than $40,000 (GST exclusive), you may apply for the balance for different activities. Unsuccessful applicants may reapply.
