Natural disaster resources for community groups

We know community groups play a big role in supporting people affected by a natural disaster.

Use these resources to help people who need financial support including Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment and Disaster Recovery Allowance. We also have resources explaining more about other support we have available.
