NSW Council of Social Service (NCOSS) has already prepared a complete range of resources for fast access to information on:
Federal Support
The Federal Government’s support is currently limited to affected communities in Queensland, however, that is expected to change over the next day or so.
Financial Support Disaster Recovery Payment
Queenslanders in eligible Local Government Areas (LGAs) can apply for Services Australia’s Disaster Assistance with further flood-affected local government areas in QLD and NSW expected to be added. Check if your LGA has been added here.

The Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA) payment provides $1000 per eligible adult and $400 per eligible child. It is a one-off, non-means-tested short-term income payment to assist employees and small business persons who have suffered a significant loss, including a severely damaged or destroyed home or serious injury.
