Working at QRIDA

Our team enjoys flexible working arrangements, employee assistance and benefits programs, rewarding training opportunities, and a healthy balance between work and life commitments.

QRIDA is a small organisation of just over one hundred employees. We value diversity in our community and work hard to foster an environment of inclusivity and trust.
Our Role and Purpose

The Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) is a specialist provider of government financial and advisory support to rural and regional Queensland.

As a statutory body of the Queensland Government we have been helping primary producers and industry recover from natural disaster, improve sustainability and profitability, make a start in business, and overcome difficult conditions, for more than 20 years.

As the Queensland Government's experts in rural finance, we also administer the State Government's Farm Business Debt Mediation program, the Farm Debt Reconstruction Office, conduct a biennial Rural Debt Survey, undertake research and provide advice to the Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities.

QRIDA is empowered under the Rural and Regional Adjustment Act 1994 to deliver additional programs and services across a range of industry sectors and to local, state and territory governments throughout Australia and for the Australian Government.

We're committed to do more to be a proactive, responsible and reliable provider of financial management services and assistance to create sustainable rural communities.
