Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption & Innovation Hub

Message from the DirectorDroughts are a recurring feature of Australia’s highly variable environment and are exacerbated by a changing climate. The Vic Hub works to enhance the drought preparedness and resilience of Victoria’s agricultural industries, the environment and regional communities. Read more

The Vic Hub employs a unique model that utilises farming systems groups and delivery partners to ensure effective on-ground action, drawing strength from collaboration. We build connections between the best available research and the needs of the community and industry, which adds value and streamlines the delivery of crucial knowledge and information. By co-designing solutions with farmers, industry stakeholders and regional communities, we facilitate the adoption of innovations that improve economic, environmental and social resilience to drought.

Get in touch through the contact details or by engaging with our projects, grants or many “shopfronts” at our partner organisations.
