Rural Relief Fund
In the unfortunate instance when disasters like drought, flood or bushfires occur, the need for assistance is immediate. With human and animal welfare a priority, the Rural Relief Fund, through the provision of emergency grants, can act quickly to support those most affected.
Grants of up to $2,500 in crisis relief are available to eligible families based on urgency and the level of support required.
The priority of family and animal welfare is taken into account, and disbursed funds can cover everything from basic household goods including food to utility bills to the repair of damaged fences.
The Rural Relief Fund is delivered through Rural Business Tasmania, with support from the Tasmania Government through the Department of State Growth.
