NAB has opened applications for $1,000 grants for customers who were severely impacted by flooding in officially declared disaster areas of South Australia’s Riverland region.

Offered in addition to current financial relief measures, the grants enable those experiencing major structural damage or severe internal damage to their primary place of residence, 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.

Emergency grants will remain open until Dec. 19, with all enquiries to be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the NAB Assist team to determine eligibility.

“Flood levels in the region are expected to peak in the coming days, with a number of areas in the region being declared a natural disaster zone,” said Krissie Jones, NAB executive retail. “NAB is here to help. We already have financial relief measures available for those who expect to be impacted by the floods. For those who have experienced physical damage, we will provide additional support including $1,000 emergency grants. I urge those who require assistance to contact us as soon as possible.”

Other support available for flood-impacted NAB customers include:

  • access to $1,000 grants to help cover costs such as temporary accommodation, food, and clothing (eligibility criteria applies)
  • $1,000 business grants to help restart or reopen and cover the cost of damaged property, equipment and fencing, and for loss of stock or livestock

To access the grants, NAB business and agribusiness customers should call NAB’s dedicated team on 1300 769 650, while NAB customers who have suffered damage to their home can call NAB Assist on 1300 308 132 or complete the online form here.
