Services Australia provides immediate support to flood-affected areas
Services Australia is the main Australian Government agency responsible for providing immediate financial assistance to people affected by the floods in New South Wales and South-East Queensland. This includes members of the veteran community.
Assistance is available for people directly affected by the floods in declared areas, including lump-sum payments and short-term allowances. You can claim online via the Centrelink option in MyGov.
Visit the Services Australia website for more information on financial support available in your area:
Services Australia Mobile Service Centres will soon be moving to flood-affected areas and we will advise where you can find them.
DVA is playing its part with some financial support, assistance with health treatment, home care, counselling and replacement of lost cards and rehabilitation appliances. You can call DVA on 1800 VETERAN (1800 838 372).
