The International Freight Assistance Mechanism (IFAM) is helping keep international freight routes and flights operating. On 3 July, the Australian Government committed $241.9 million to continue the support until the end of the year.
IFAM is prioritising high-value, time-sensitive and perishable products on outbound flights. If you rely on air freight to get these types of products to your customers, register your interest.
To date, outbound IFAM flights have supported:
seafood (including lobsters)
premium red meat (including beef, lamb and pork)
dairy (such as fresh milk and yoghurt)
horticulture (such as premium fruits and packaged salad or vegetables).
What happens next
Once you’ve registered and received an acknowledgement email, contact:
an IFAM Freight Forwarder, or
your own Freight Forwarder (who will then work with an IFAM Freight Forwarder) to access IFAM support.
