After a major emergency, the department may offer financial support through the Personal Hardship Assistance Program.
The Personal Hardship Assistance Program gives financial support to people affected by major emergencies in Victoria. Find more information about the program on the Emergency relief and recovery services webpage on our Services website.
The Victorian and Australian Governments may provide other help after an emergency. To check what is available, go to relief and recovery on VicEmergency.
