We provide Australian Government assistance such as Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment and Disaster Recovery Allowance when there’s a declared natural disaster event.
Your state government provides assistance which may include grants and loans.
You may be eligible for both Australian Government and state government natural disaster support.
