The program enables primary producers to claim reimbursements costs for vocational training and farm business planning, with a maximum of $5000 per farmer, and $9000 per farm business, claimable over the next five years.
Mr Marshall said the funding could be also used for the preparation and planning that is required to apply to service providers for multi-peril insurance.
Service providers are encouraged to apply to the Rural Assistance Authority (RAA), with a list of courses that are pre-approved to be placed on the RAA website in coming weeks.
Primary producers are also able to apply to the RAA for approval for other vocational training or farm business planning service providers that meet their needs and are within the guidelines
