From 1 October 2021, the Primary Producer Safety Rebate Scheme was available to help Tasmanian farmers to improve safety on farm. 

The Tasmanian Government encouraged relevant workplaces to take part in the rebate scheme, to help reduce farm deaths and injuries.

The rebate scheme aimed to reduce the most common hazards that can cause death and injury in the agricultural sector, such as unsafe practices involving quad bikes and​​​ tractors, manual handling, and being hit by animals.

Rebates of up to $5,000 were available for eligible items that address these top hazards.

The Primary Producer Safety Rebate Scheme built on the highly successful Quad Bike Safety program that ran from 1 July 2019 to September 2021.
