About the Program
The Australian Government has allocated $53 million across 3 rounds for the On Farm Connectivity Program (the Program) to enable primary producers in agriculture, forestry and fisheries to extend connectivity in their fields and take advantage of connected machinery and sensor technology.
Funded through the Better Connectivity Plan for Regional and Rural Australia, Rounds 1 and 2 sought to assist primary producers to increase connectivity, improve safety and drive more sustainable farming practice.
Rounds 1 and 2 of the Program have delivered over $30.5 million in rebates to help more than 2,900 primary production businesses boost connectivity on their farms.
Round 3
Applications for Round 3 are now expected to open in the second quarter of 2026. Primary producers and suppliers who wish to receive updates or information about Round 3 should send an email to OFCP@infrastructure.gov.au to be added to our mailing list.
Formal public consultation on Round 3 opened on 17 July 2025 and has now closed.
Based on feedback received, some changes to the Program are expected. This means the List of Eligible Equipment, Grant Opportunity Guidelines, and any other supporting documentation from previous rounds may no longer apply and should not be used as a reference point for Round 3.
Case studies

Advice for Previous Approved Suppliers
Businesses previously on a List of Approved Suppliers are requested to remove all references to OFCP Rounds 1 and 2 from their websites, social media and all other electronic and printed media including pamphlets and flyers. Based on feedback received, some changes to the Program are expected. Approved Suppliers and requirements may also change.
