The Rural Aid Gift Card program is being rolled out in those most affected areas allowing farmers to apply for a cash loaded card to begin to cover their most immediate expences.
"The gift cards will be acceptable for the necessities of life and will direct cash donations from supporting Australians directly into the hands of those most in need" said Rural Aid chief Charles Alder. "We've got cards available immediately so all farmers who need assistance have to do is contact our office or register online and we'll distribute a card."
Businesses looking to accept the card are invited to register and will be issued an account, there are no setup or transaction fees and 100 per cent of the funds used on the cards are paid to the retailers.
