NAB has extended the availability of its $1,000 emergency grants until Dec. 6 to assist customers who were severely impacted by the floods in Central West New South Wales.

Those experiencing major structural damage or severe internal damage to their primary place of residence can access the funds to meet their immediate needs. This includes business and agriculture customers who have suffered severe damage to property, equipment, fencing, or loss of stock or livestock.

“A number of communities in Central West New South Wales are still being impacted by the flooding and we’ll continue to help them get the support they need,” said Tony Story, NAB executive retail regional NSW/ACT.

A range of other financial relief measures, such as loan deferral or reduced payment arrangements, and waiving of some fees or charges relating to accounts, are also still available to flood-impacted customers in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania.

To apply for NAB customer support, NAB customers who live in officially declared disaster areas, as listed by the Department of Home Affairs’ Disaster Assist website, should apply online at nab.com.au/common/forms/disastergrant. All enquiries will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and require evidence showing significant property damage.

For further assistance, customers may visit their nearest open NAB branch where it’s safe to do so, visit nab.com.au/disaster, contact their banker directly, or call NAB Assist on:

  • 1300 308 132 for personal customers (8am to 8pm Monday to Friday, or 9am to 1pm Saturday AEDT)
  • 1300 769 650 for business customers (8am to 5pm Monday to Friday AEDT).

NAB customer grant applications will be open until Dec. 6. NAB will initially provide a total of up to $1,000,000 in grants, with any further customer support measures to be considered as the situation evolves.

NAB also opened a fundraiser to support Disaster Relief Australia in their recovery efforts. Click here to donate to Disaster Relief Australia flood appeal.
