Program objective
If you are a small business owner in NSW, the $1,000 SafeWork small business rebate can help you purchase eligible safety items to make your workplace safer for you and your workers, including managing or eliminating hazards and risks that may cause serious injury, illness or death at work.
The rebate only applies to safety items on the eligible items list. These items support safety solutions which are high level controls under the hierarchy of control.
Addition of agricultural drones
Agricultural drones (used in a primary producing farming operation with one or more of the following capabilities: spray, spread and/or visual capabilities) have been added as eligible items under the $1,000 SafeWork small business rebate. The Hon. Sophie Cotsis MP, Minister for Industrial Relations, and Minister for Work Health and Safety approved this addition in August 2025.
The addition of agricultural drones to the rebate align with SafeWork NSW’s 2025-2026 regulatory priorities relating to harm prevention associated with mobile plant, vehicles or fixed machinery. This addition will support regional and small farm operations that will benefit from the use of drone technology as a practical and modern safety tool. Visit the SafeWork website or email safetyrebate@safework.nsw.gov.au if you have any questions.
