Overview

This program is directed to organisations providing services to individuals and families in the 4 highly impacted Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) districts of Western, Murrumbidgee, Far West and New England.

• reimbursement of expenses incurred since August-September 2022 that were directly related to the floods (up to 25% of the total grant provided)
• operational costs to deliver critical service delivery, for example vehicle hire and overheads directly related to service delivery
• service delivery of minor expenses of up to $1,000 per individual (e.g. purchasing flood and personal care items, ensuring that people remain safe and have access to supports).
