Additional regions now eligible for federal support include East Gippsland, Mallee, and Mornington Peninsula. The assistance provided encompasses financial aid for rebuilding homes, businesses, and infrastructure, as well as access to mental health services for affected residents.
Minister for Emergency Services, Minister’s Name, stated, “We are committed to ensuring that all affected communities receive the necessary support to recover and rebuild. This expanded assistance will provide vital resources to those who have lost so much in the bushfires.”
