Farm Household Allowance: are you eligible?
21 March 2019
The second lump sum payment is now available for producers who qualify for the Farm Household Allowance.
This instalment will provide couples in a household with up to an additional $6,000 (if both people are receiving the Farm Household Allowance) or $3,600 for single households.
Up to 1 June 2019, recipients will automatically receive the additional payment.
The Farm Household Allowance net farm asset threshold will remain at the increased limit of $5 million through to 30 June 2019.
These measures will help producers manage through the current drought, and other hardship.
