The Disaster Resilience and Recovery Fund (DRRF) supports communities in remote, rural and regional communities across Australia to implement initiatives that prevent and prepare for future climate-related impacts, or recover from existing disasters in the medium to long-term timeframe, generally one to ten years after a disaster.
Grants up to $25,000 (or $50,000 for 2 years via agreement) are available for a broad range of initiatives to strengthen the capacity and capability of local people, organisations, networks, and systems that help communities to be informed, skilled, connected and resourced for the future.
Specifically, the DRRF will support communities to focus on disaster preparedness for any innovative project, event, initiative, training, network, or service that improves the ability of local people and communities to build preparedness to manage the impact of future disasters.
Each year the FRRR Board approves annual priorities for the allocation of fund earnings based on the type, breadth and location of disasters across rural, regional and remote Australia.
Applications are accepted via invitation of FRRR and assessed accordingly against the guidelines where funds exist.
