Victorian farmers have lost homes, sheds and stock after a catastrophic fire swept through Victoria’s South-West this week.
The Rural Relief Fund has been opened up to allow Tasmanians to support Victorian farmers, Rural Business Tasmania chief executive Elizabeth Skirving said.
“When farmers struggle it has a ripple effect throughout entire rural communities,” Ms Skirving said.
“We will do what we can to ensure the farmers affected by these recent and terrible fires are properly supported through the challenging times ahead.”
Donations will be given to Rural Business Tasmania’s sister organisation Rural Financial Counselling Service Victoria – Wimmera South West Inc to distribute directly to farming families affected by the bushfires.
