Meet your dedicated VFF Drought Support Advisor

We’re excited to introduce you to our new and dedicated Drought Support Advisor, Kim Tupper.

Kim’s already hit the ground running to help farmers access existing drought support grants, coordinate well-being events and act as a critical link between farmers and decision makers to identify potential gaps in drought support.

Victorian Drought Support Program

Kim’s role has been made possible through the generous support of Nutrien Ag Solutions. The initiative is dubbed the Victorian Drought Support Program and aims to act as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for farmers seeking drought assistance and to identify future areas of support to lend farmers a helping hand.

Farmers can directly contact Kim, who will help streamline individual drought applications, connect farmers with financial counsellors and mental heath services, and provide risk management support.

Farmer feedback received from the initiative will be used to help guide decision making regarding further drought support administered by the VFF’s Disaster Relief Fund.
