Tender Description
The Australian Government is inviting applications via an open process to apply to deliver services under the Future Drought Fund Drought Resilience Hubs Program nationally from 2026–27 to 2031–2032.
The program will establish 7 Drought Resilience Hubs (Hubs) across Australia, with the vision to build drought resilience across the drought cycle by connecting farmers and communities to regional experts, innovations, new practices and services.
The objectives of the program are:
- to facilitate the delivery of place-based extension and adoption activities with a realistic prospect of impact
- strong collaboration across the 7 Hubs, with Australian, state and territory governments, Research and Development Corporations and other relevant bodies
- robust governance frameworks that enable efficient, effective delivery with strong transparency and accountability mechanisms to build stakeholder trust.
The outcomes of the program are:
- increased farmer and community understanding of drought-resilient practices, innovations and services
- increased adoption of drought-resilient practices by farmers and regional and rural communities
- improved analysis and understanding by Hubs, Hub partners and government policymakers of drought-resilient extension and adoption gaps in the service region and identification of place-based solutions
- improved collaborative planning and delivery of drought-resilient activities between Hubs, state and territory governments, Research and Development Corporations, and industry/community stakeholders
- improved linkages between farmers and communities’ research needs and experts and researchers to support co-designed research solutions.
