Do I have to be in an Exceptional Circumstances (EC) declared area to apply for Transitional Income Support?
No. You do not have to be located in an EC declared area to apply for Transitional Income Support. Transitional Income Support is available for farmers Australia-wide to apply for, including in EC declared areas. It should be noted that the eligibility criteria for Transitional Income Support are different to the Exceptional Circumstances Relief Payment, and other forms of EC assistance.
