The annual Disaster Recovery Quick Response Grants program has been established to assist any Indigenous corporation whose property has been directly affected by a declared natural disaster, such as a flood, bushfire, or cyclone.

The funding can be used for immediate clean up your property, work to make your property safe and purchase plant and equipment to assist with recovery efforts.

There is no closing date for applications.

The amount of each grant will be determined following an assessment of the immediate recovery efforts required and the costs of these efforts but is capped at $20,000 (GST excl) for each individual organisation.

In the first instance, Indigenous corporations that have been directly impacted by a natural disaster should call 1800 818 490 or email DisasterResponse@ilsc.gov.au for assistance and to submit their application.

Indigenous corporations (incorporated) may be eligible for assistance through the program if:

• Their property is within a State or Territory declared natural disaster area.
• They require immediate assistance to make their property safe to access.
