Red Cross Emergency Grants

If your home has been destroyed in a bushfire since July 2019, you can apply for an emergency grant.

Emergency grants are open across Australia to people whose primary place of residence has been destroyed or rendered permanently uninhabitable as the result of bushfires from 1 July 2019.

Your primary place of residence is the place you reside in on a permanent basis, whether as an owner-occupier or a tenant. ‘Destroyed or rendered permanently uninhabitable’ means the place has been or must be demolished.  

A grant of $10,000 is available per household.
