The Commonwealth and NSW Governments have allocated $9.1 million to support communities affected by the floods that commenced in August-September 2022. The NGO Flood Recovery Program is directed to organisations providing services to individuals and families in the four highly impacted DCJ districts of Western, Murrumbidgee, Far West and New England.
The NGO Flood Recovery Program is designed to embed social cohesion, support community-led social recovery and respond to community feedback about local decision making.
If you are looking for information on current NSW Government disaster assistance please visit the NSW Disaster Relief and Support webpage.
