Industry recovery and resilience officers

The Industry Recovery and Resilience Officer (IRRO) program assists primary producers with specialised long-term recovery support if they have been impacted by the:

• Southern Queensland flooding (6–20 May 2022) (PDF, 12.3MB)
• South East Queensland rainfall and flooding (22 February – 5 April 2022) (PDF, 859KB)
• Ex-Tropical Cyclone Seth (29 December 2021 –10 January 2022) (PDF, 1.6MB)
• Central, Southern and Western Queensland rainfall and flooding (10 November – 3 December 2021) (PDF, 4.6MB).

Industry recovery and resilience officers can help primary producers to:

• better understand climate risks and develop strategies to mitigate risk to their farm businesses
• develop farm business plans and flood management plans to build resilience to the impacts of future climate-driven events such as flood, bushfires and drought
• apply for a Medium to Large Business Recovery Loan.

The IRRO program and the recovery loans are jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
