On-Farm Connectivity Program Eligibility
Under Round 3 of the Australian Government’s On-Farm Connectivity Program (OFCP), rebates are strictly limited to approved digital connectivity equipment.
- Eligible Equipment: The Te Pari Macrostock Scale System and associated digital connectivity components have been approved for the grant.
- Ineligible Equipment: Unfortunately our cattle crushes, sheep handlers, auto drafters, and dosing guns are not eligible for the Round 3 rebate.
- Important Notice: Eligibility criteria are set directly by the Department for Round 3. Guidelines from previous rounds no longer apply.
Eligible primary producers can receive up to a 50% rebate (ranging from $1,000 to $20,000) on the Macrostock Scale System portion of their order.

Application Criteria
It's easy to apply for the On-Farm Connectivity Rebate you just need your name, address, ABN number and a quote for the equipment you plan to purchase. You're eligible if you meet the following criteria:
- You must have an ABN number that has been registered for more than 12 months
- Your average revenue (sales) from primary production over the last 3 years must be between $40,000 and $4 million.
- You must confirm you are not a hobby farmer and that you have an eligible ANZSIC code.
How to Apply the Rebate to Te Pari Solutions
While complete handling packages (such as Taurus Auto Crushes or Racewell Sheep Handlers) cannot be funded as a whole, you can apply the OFCP Round 3 rebate directly to the integrated Macrostock Scale System fitted to these units.
Contact our team, and we will itemize your quote so you can maximize your government rebate on the eligible digital scale technology while purchasing your complete handling system.
