Western Australia Bushfires 2007

Given the devastation caused by the bushfires in Western Australia that started in January and February 2007, in the Dwellingup area and the Porongurup National Park, the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment was administered by Centrelink, to assist those people who were adversely affected.

Payments to households of $1,000 per adult and $400 per child were payable to eligible people whose principal place of residence was destroyed or rendered uninhabitable as a direct result of the bushfires.

Note: This package has now closed.
