6.8     Financial recovery
6.8.1   Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA)

The NDRRA is the Australian Government program intended to assist the recovery of
communities whose social, financial and economic wellbeing has been severely affected by a
natural disaster or terrorism event. These arrangements provide a cost sharing formula between
the Queensland and Australian Governments on a range of pre-agreed relief and recovery
measures.

Further information on NDRRA is available from the Queensland Reconstruction Authority
website: http://qldreconstruction.org.au/ndrra.

6.8.2   State Disaster Relief Arrangements (SDRA)

The SDRA is an all hazards relief program that is 100% State funded and covers natural and
non-natural disasters. The purpose of the SDRA is to address personal hardship and community
response needs for disaster events where the NDRRA is not activated.

6.8.3   Federal Disaster Arrangements

Disaster Recovery Payment (DRP)
When a major disaster has had such a significant impact on individuals and families that
assistance over and above the measures available under NDRRA is needed, the Australian
Government may provide the Disaster Recovery Payment which is a one-off recovery payment.
The DRP is a non-means tested payment of $1,000 for eligible adults and $400 for eligible
children who have been adversely affected by a major disaster either in Australia or overseas.

The DRP is administered by the Department of                 Human    Services.     Refer   to
www.disasterassist.gov.au website for further information.

Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA)
The DRA is a short-term income support payment to assist individuals who can demonstrate their
income has been affected as a direct result of a disaster. When available, the DRA assists
employees, small business persons and farmers who experience a loss of income as a direct
result of a disaster event.

The DRA is administered by the Department of                 Human    Services.     Refer   to
www.disasterassist.gov.au website for further information.
