Support to purchase and install eID tagging systems in Tasmania

Overview

Processors, saleyards, transport depots, livestock transporters, livestock agencies and agents may be eligible for a rebate/grant which will supplement the cost of purchasing and installing eID tagging systems.

Under the scheme, the maximum rebates that can be claimed for eligible applicants are:

• A grant of up to 75% of the full cost of purchase and installation of eligible eID infrastructure and associated software subscriptions. Grants will be made in instalments to you subject to grant deed conditions for eID infrastructure.

A second round of funding for sheep and goat producers and show societies will commence later in the year.
