What is Being Offered?
Gift cards to the maximum value of $200 per family/household will be available to eligible applicants in accordance with the constitution of The Community Recovery Hub Recovery Assistance Fund. Gifts cards will be distributed to help meet expenses of bushfire affected families who have lost their primary place of residence, including homes that are uninhabitable, in the Wollondilly and Wingecarribee local government areas.
