RIC is pleased to launch the Farm Relief Tool, a new directory to connect farmers affected by drought, natural disaster or biosecurity events with Australian Government financial and mental health support. 

RIC joins producers, industry service providers and decision-makers at the Growing SA conference on 30 August 2023.

July marks the 5-year milestone since the Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) started delivering concessional loans on behalf of the Australian Government to build a stronger, more sustainable agricultural industry.

RIC CEO John Howard visited the Northern Rivers of NSW this week to increase awareness of RIC’s Farm Investment Loan as a recovery option for farmers affected by natural disasters and financial downturn.

Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) is pleased to welcome Mr Mark Tucker to the RIC Board as its fifth and final member.

Mark Tucker brings extensive experience as a Deputy Secretary across Australian Government departments including Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry, Water and Environment, Communications, and the Arts.

As the only Federal Government funded, low-cost loan available to support the establishment of new farm businesses across Australia, 2 years since first offered, RIC AgriStarter Loan is helping to accelerate first generation and next generation farm businesses to start-up, set-up and grow.

Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) has announced RIC Board Chair, Karen Smith-Pomeroy and RIC Board Member, Prue Bondfield have both been reappointed to their respective positions for an additional 2-year term.   

The RIC is expanding its national workforce to bring greater capability and capacity to deliver a fully ‘in-house’, end-to-end customer experience.

The RIC is a powerful example of gender equality in the workplace with a strong representation of women in leadership roles.
