FARMERS affected by this week's bushfires will be able to access subsidised transport for their livestock, the NSW government says.
The state government said on Thursday farmers in regions declared natural disaster areas would be eligible for transport freight subsidies of up to 50 per cent for livestock and fodder.
The subsidy would be available up to a maximum of $15,000 per year.
A fodder donation register had also been set up to assist bushfire-affected farmers.
"We have already had calls of support from country NSW offering hay and grain to those left with little or nothing on their properties following the fires," Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson said in a statement.
"In the worst cases properties have been left without a blade of grass to feed livestock.
"This register is one way of helping farming families recover from this devastating event."
The government estimates that more than around 10,000 stock, mostly sheep, have perished in the blazes this week.
NSW Farmers president Fiona Simson said the fodder donation register will be located on the department's website.
