More information
Please note that applicants can only receive assistance under the Disaster Assistance Scheme OR the Disaster Assistance (Essential Working Capital) Scheme for an eligible disaster - not both.
QRIDA administers financial assistance to disaster affected primary producers, businesses and non-profit organisations under the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Individually Disaster Stricken Properties
Primary producers significantly affected during a disaster, but not located in a defined disaster area may be eligible to apply for assistance as an individually disaster-stricken enterprise. In this circumstance, the current commercial lending rate applies unless the concessional interest rate is granted by QRIDA.
To apply on this basis you should first apply for an Individual Disaster Stricken Property (IDSP) Certificate through the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. For further information please visit the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries website or call 13 25 23.
