Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP)

The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP) gives you short-term financial assistance if you are adversely affected by a major or widespread disaster, either in Australia or in another country.

The Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs may determine that an event is a major disaster if satisfied that the event is a disaster that has such a significant impact on individuals that a government response is required.

Note: Centrelink staff are available to provide assistance to families and children affected by disaster. We will help you to access the range of payments and support services available.
