Small Business Bushfire Recovery Grants

If you're a small business or non-profit organisation, and you've suffered direct damage to your premises or equipment as a result of the NSW 2019–2020 bushfire event (beginning in August 2019), you may be eligible for a bushfire recovery grant.

The bushfire recovery grant of up to $50,000 is to help pay for costs associated with the clean-up and reinstatement of a small business or non-profit organisation’s operations. The costs could include, but are not limited to:

• payment for tradespeople to conduct safety inspections 
• equipment and materials required for cleaning up
• the removal and disposal of damaged goods and materials 
• repairing premises and internal fittings
• hiring equipment and/or replacing stock needed to resume operations.

Grants are not available for (and not necessarily limited to), the following:

• expenses that are covered under the small business or non-profit organisation's insurance policy
• loss of income as a result of the bushfires.
