The above named was approved into the Organic Farming Scheme (OFS) with a contract commencement date of 1 June 2015. The applicant has received all payments in respect of scheme years 2015 and 2016.

Administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all OFS claims. All cases must clear these checks before payment can issue. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks required and once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made.
