Our background
For more than two decades, the Remote Area Planning and Development Board (RAPAD) has been a provider of Federal and State Government funded rural and small business financial counselling and wellness coaching programs, delivered through the not-for-profit Rural Financial Counselling Service North Queensland.
In June 2026, the Small Business Financial Counselling and Business Wellness Coaching programs transitioned to the new Small Business Support North Queensland identity - providing a clearer home for small business programs while maintaining the experience, relationships and local knowledge built through years of service delivery across North Queensland.
The Rural Financial Counselling Service North Queensland remains a dedicated free and impartial service for rural businesses, with program information continuing to be available through www.rfcsnq.com.au.
