Economic Resilience Program

21 April 2026

The Australian Government has introduced a $1 billion Economic Resilience Program to support manufacturing and logistics businesses affected by market disruption. The program focuses on key supply chain sectors such as freight, fuel, plastics and fertiliser, particularly those impacted by global conflicts and rising input costs. It offers zero‑interest loans to help businesses manage costs, recover from disruption and strengthen critical supply chains, with applications opening 20 April 2026 through participating banks for smaller businesses and directly through the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation for larger businesses.
