In specific situations where the transfer of the farm was not completed on or before 30 June 2001, additional time was provided to allow certain qualified farmers to participate in the scheme.
The additional time was available to a person who lodged a RAFS pre-assessment before 31 July 2001.
A pre-assessment was a written request by a person, for advice about whether RAFS would apply to the person, or to the person's partner, in the event that they transferred the farm. The request was required to set out sufficient information to enable advice to be given in relation to whether RAFS would apply to the person in the event that the proposed transfer took place.
The day of lodgement of the pre-assessment request was taken to be the day of the person's initial contact with the Department if:
It should be noted that time limits applied to both the lodgement of the claim and the finalisation of the property transfer.
