Industry support

PIRSA shapes and drives primary industry involvement in State and Australian Government priorities.

We engage industries and stakeholders in developing relevant policies, plans, and programs. This forms South Australia's contribution to intergovernmental strategies that affect primary industries and regions.

PIRSA also supports producers through:

  • educational programs
  • industry guides
  • business resources
  • emergency funding and services.

Funding

PIRSA provides funds, initiatives, and programs to develop our state's primary industries, and help businesses to recover from emergency events.
