The past year has been challenging with rising interest rates, increased input costs and the cost of living placing significant pressure on our clients. During tough times RFCS NSW remains dedicated to providing financial counselling and projects to primary producers, small businesses and individuals in regional NSW who are experiencing, or at risk of, financial hardship.
We proudly provide free, confidential and professional financial counselling across 60 Local Government Areas throughout the state. In 2023-24 RFCS NSW and our Illawarra-based FCS NSW assisted a combined total of 1,519 clients with various challenges including financial statement analysis and preparation, succession planning, credit and debt issues, budgeting, restructuring and mediation, farm exiting and general assistance to improve profitability and sustainability.

The Rural Financial Counselling Service Program is funded by the Australian Government and the New South Wales Government and is administered by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
