Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - funding supplementation

The Government will provide $127.0 million in 2022-23 for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) to meet a funding shortfall predominantly related to cost recovered activities, and increased biosecurity operations including frontline border operations and import clearances. The supplementation funding will ensure that DAFF is able to meet its financial commitments as they fall due, while continuing to deliver its core functions.
