Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP) is a lump sum payment to help if you’ve been directly affected by this disaster. You may be eligible if any of the following apply:

• your home or major assets that you own at your home have been severely damaged or destroyed
• you’ve been seriously injured
• your immediate family member has died or is missing.

You can also claim Disaster Recovery Allowance if you’ve lost income as a direct result of this disaster. You could get this payment for up to 13 weeks.

We also have payments for New Zealand citizens living in Australia.
