Farm Debt Mediation

​About Farm​ Debt Mediation

The Tasmanian Farm Debt Mediation (FDM) scheme is designed to help farmers who are struggling with their finances to resolve issues with creditors without going to court.

The scheme provides for a structured negotiation process in which a neutral and independent mediator helps farmers and creditors to communicate effectively, to resolve matters relating to farm debts, and to formalise that resolution in an agreement.

This process is cheaper and quicker than going to court, and is a way for farmers and creditors to work together to find a solution with the help of a neutral mediator.
