The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016.

An issue arose in relation to the transfer of the GLAS contract from a registered farm partnership to a herd number which has delayed the processing of the 2016 Advance payment as the BPS application was submitted under the partnership number but the GLAS contract is now under the new herd number. Department officials are actively working on a resolution to this issue so that payments can commence as quickly as possible in this case.

Once this case clears validations, the payment will be made. GLAS payments are issuing on a weekly basis.
