Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payments (AGDRP) have been extended to people in the Lockyer Valley and North Burnett regions. Claims can be lodged for $1000 for each eligible adult and $400 for each eligible child. Extra staff are being deployed to Department of Human Services centres, as well as some recovery centres, to help people with their claims. The payments have already been made available in Bundaberg, Gladstone, Gympie and the Fraser Coast. The federal assistance is on top of the support already being provided under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA), jointly funded by the federal and Queensland governments. There are now 50 local government areas eligible for various types of disaster assistance under the NDRRA across Queensland. Claims can be made online at humanservices.gov.au/disaster, by calling the Australian Government Emergency Information Line on 180 22 66 from 8am to 8pm local time, seven days a week, or in person at recovery centres or any Centrelink Service Centre during their usual business hours.
