About the NSW Rural Assistance Authority
The NSW Government, through the NSW Rural Assistance Authority (RAA), provides significant financial assistance to help farmers become more resilient, self-reliant and sustainable. Financial assistance is also provided to small businesses and primary producers to help them recover from natural disasters.
