The Rural Transaction Centres (RTC) Programme provides funds to help small communities establish their own RTC to provide access to services.

Each RTC is as individual and innovative as the community it serves. Types of services can include financial services, tourism, insurance and taxation, health, and telecommunications.
Under Regional Partnerships there is one set of guidelines, one simpler application process and on the ground support to make it easier for communities to apply for Australian Government funding support for regional development projects.
