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 for this payment 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.
Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA) is a short term payment to help you if you’ve lost income as a direct result of the disaster.
You can get this payment for up to 13 weeks.
If you’re eligible, you can get both AGDRP and DRA.
We also have payments for New Zealand citizens living in Australia.
