Rural and Regional Adjustment Regulation 2011

Subsection (3) applies in relation to an application for assistance under the scheme for an eligible disaster—

if the assistance establishment notice for the disaster states subsection (3) applies to the application; and

in relation to the amount of the assistance stated in the notice.

Also, if an eligible entity applies for assistance for damage suffered in 2 or more disaster zones, and the assistance establishment notice states that subsection (3) applies in relation to any of those zones, then subsection (3) applies to the application in relation to all of the zones.

An applicant is eligible for assistance for the eligible disaster only if the applicant provides evidence to the authority, in the form of tax invoices, official receipts for payment or bank statements, that all amounts claimed by the applicant under the scheme have been paid by the applicant.
