Living with drought - who can help and how
Drought is just one of the many risks facing Australian agriculture. Knowing what services and support is out there to assist farmers and farming businesses is important.
The Australian government has developed resources to make it easy to find out who can help and the kind of services and support that is available.
A range of people and organisations can provide farmers and farming businesses with advice and support. Accountants, financial advisors, financial planners and bankers are just some of the people who can provide valuable assistance and advice to help farmers and farming businesses prepare for, manage through and recover from drought.

Addressing Business Debt Fact Sheet
The Australian Banking Association (ABA) has partnered with CAANZ, CPA and the ATO to create a support-based factsheet for small business customers who might be struggling to make repayments.
Many things can cause a business owner to have difficulties repaying their debts and it’s easy to get overwhelmed in this situation. The factsheet builds on a campaign from the ABA which reminds customers facing financial difficulty that they don’t need to ‘tough it out on their own’.
Rural Alive and Well - Mental Health Check
Rural Alive & Well (RAW) often use the analogy of a temperature gauge to explain the impact situational stressors have on our mental health and well-being.
The RAW Gauge© serves as a visual reminder to continually check where your ‘gauge’ might be sitting at. The colloquial phrases we’ve aligned to the temperature points provide a fun example of what words you may be using externally to indicate where you are at internally.
It's okay for your gauge to move up and down, but when you spend too much time between 250°C - 300°C, it's time to get in contact with RAW.
