New South Wales Department of Primary Industries will rebate 50% of the transport costs for movements of:

• water for domestic use
• water and fodder for stock
• stock to and from agistment
• stock to sale/slaughter.

The drought transport subsidies for livestock help ensure animal welfare for drought-affected stock by assisting farmers with the cost of transporting water, fodder and stock to agistment or sale/slaughter. The subsidies are not for production purposes.

These rebates apply to primary producers in a drought-affected area of New South Wales, subject to eligibility criteria. Eligibility criteria are provided for each rebate application form.

Please note it is your responsibility to notify the NLIS database of all Property to Property transfers of cattle relating to agistment movements. This includes movements both to and from agistment for the purposes of drought, bushfire and flood relief.
