From 1 December 2019, responsibility for Victoria’s administration of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements moved from the Department of Treasury and Finance to Emergency Management Victoria. There have been no changes to the processes for submitting or finalising claims. The team can be contacted on ndfa@emv.vic.gov.au (External link) for further information.
Overview of eligible natural disaster events and allowable time limits to complete relief and recovery activities and submit claims through the NDFA scheme for events prior to 1 November 2018.
Victoria’s Natural Disaster Financial Assistance (NDFA) scheme, administered by the Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance, is available to local councils and Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) to relieve some of the financial burden that may be experienced following a natural disaster event.
The NDFA mirrors the Commonwealth Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA). Following the process outlined in these pages will allow us to process your claim quickly.
The department acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and acknowledges and pays respect to their Elders, past and present.
