REMINDER - RED CROSS GRANTS CLOSE TOMORROW!

There are several Red Cross grants for our community members whose circumstances have been affected by the bushfires. The closing date for Red Cross grants has been extended to Tuesday, 30 June 2020.

Immediate assistance is available for our bushfire-affected community members who are in financial hardship. These cash grants are available:
👉Emergency grant for people who have lost their homes.
👉Injury grant for people who were hospitalised due to the fires.
👉Primary residence repair grant for home owners whose homes have been structurally damaged. Eligibility has also been extended to include destruction or damage to critical private water, septic and/or power infrastructure.
👉The former Rebuild grant for owner-occupiers to assist with early stages of rebuilding is now called the Reestablishment grant, and it has extended eligibility criteria. This grant offers $30,000 per household for home owner occupiers and $10,000 per household for people who were renting a home or whose primary place of residence was a caravan or mobile home.
