Bushfire-ravaged communities are accessing millions in Federal Government money to help them recover and rebuild.

Emergency Management Minister David Littleproud said the Commonwealth (as of 6 March) has funded and distributed almost $177.55 million in disaster recovery help—with more on the way.

 “We’re getting the money to those who need it most, ” Minister Littleproud said.

“These are mums and dads, school kids, farmers, tradies, local shop owners getting back on their feet after the devastating fires.

The Commonwealth is working as fast as they can to get the money out and will continue to work with the States to help rebuild these important local communities.
