Note: This section is dedicated to Council posting information applicable to current recovery efforts as a result of recent emergencies.
Recovery Centres
A Recovery Centre offers more than just support in applying for financial assistance, it’s also a place where affected people can share their concerns with people who understand what you’re going through.
There’s support for your immediate needs as well as information and advice about all the programs that are available from the government, charities and local support services.
Recovery Centre staff are able help you get application processes started and answer questions about your circumstances.
There’s support for individuals, businesses, farmers and landholders. And ongoing help is available over the phone.
Agencies and services at a centre may include local council, Disaster Welfare, small business, Red Cross, NSW Health, Legal Aid, Fair Trading, Salvation Army, chaplains and insurers.
If you are a community support agency and would like to establish a community recovery hub, please refer to the Community Recovery Hub Toolkit -https://cloud.wollondilly.nsw.gov.au/index.php/s/FOP0iHSjbdN10qa
Please note, before establishing a community recovery hub, Council must first be notified and have given approval, and the agency must have completed the prerequisite training.
