ENTERPRISE ACTION PLAN
The Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) have recently reviewed the Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) program across the nation and have decided to refocus how the service is delivered. In addition to the previous aims of the service the focus will now also include building primary producers' capacity to manage change, including climate change and increased global competition.
RFCS will move to a more structured approach when assisting clients to develop forward planning and cover areas such as management practices, climate variation, cash flow planning, farm business training & development, support towards succession planning and much more. Inline with this more structured approach Rural Financial Counsellor's will use a tool called the Enterprise Action Plan (EAP).
The EAP is designed to assist our clients in working through and implementing strategies with the intention of improving outcomes.
All future client contact with the Service will require the client, with the assistance of the Rural Financial Counsellor to develop either an EAP or a Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP).
These plans involve a more consistent approach to assist the client through the planning process while allowing for individual needs and circumstances to be recognised and managed.
It is the intention that this structured approach will assist clients and result in;
- a better understanding of their financial position,
- quicker resolution of clients business outcomes
- ongoing support of clients needs within a referral network
- fair and reasonable dealings with clients as they progress along their action plan pathway
