Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This determination treats Farm Exit Support Grants (the main exit grant, advice/re‑training grant, and relocation grant) administered by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry as exempt lump sums for Centrelink purposes.

That means eligible farmers leaving the industry won’t have these payments counted as income against their social security, preserving benefits while they retrain, relocate or transition.
