The United Kingdom has offered Australia the terms of a trade agreement that would allow both countries to levy import duties for more than 15 years.
The cabinet was reportedly divided over what conditions to offer amid concerns that UK beef and lamb farmers could be reduced by larger Australian producers.
But with Boris Johnson moving towards unity, the dispute has clearly been resolved.
International Trade Secretary Liz Tross formally proposed the UK to her Australian counterpart on Friday.
If adopted, it would gradually create quotas on tax-free trade between the two countries.
The National Farmers Union (NFU) has warned that freeing up the UK-Australian meat trade could leave hundreds of British cattle and sheep breeders out of business.
Following Brexit, ministers are keen to reach as many trade deals as possible, and want the MS Truss to get a place with Australia ahead of the UK G-7 summit - the top economists - in June.
However, he had a dispute with Environment Secretary George Eustace that the impact of the import duty on farmers is usually given to the government.
After the differences were apparently resolved at a Downing Street meeting chaired by the Prime Minister on Thursday, Ms Truss laid down the UK's terms for an agreement with her Australian counterpart Dan Tehan in an online meeting on Friday.
Speaking on a visit to Portsmouth, Mr Johnson said: "We are definitely looking at free trade deals around the world.
"They present a great opportunity for our farmers, for all kinds of businesses, for our producers. We should see this new opening as an opportunity, not a threat."
Mr Tehan said he was "confident" of reaching an agreement with the UK in early June, and had "very positive discussions" with Mr Truss, according to the Khabar.com.au website.
