Supply Chain Capacity Program for producers and processors is now open on SmartyGrants.
The Australian Parliament has passed laws to end live sheep exports by sea by 1 May 2028. The department will continue to regulate the export of live sheep by sea during the transition to ensure compliance with all requirements, including animal welfare.
Assistance for the sheep supply chain to transition
There’s a $139.7 million transition assistance package.
The transition assistance provides individuals, communities and businesses with the opportunity to be prepared for when trade ends in 2028.
