If your property was damaged in the February and March 2022 floods you still have time to apply for Service NSW’s Back Home Grant before applications close on April 20.

Property owners may be eligible for this grant if they couldn’t make a claim through their insurance policy to help cover the cost of restoring their home to a habitable condition or replacing essential household items.

The grant is a one-off payment of up to $20,000 to eligible owner/occupiers and owner/investors, and up to $5,000 to eligible tenants, to help repair, replace or relocate household items like fridges, microwaves, televisions, restore damaged property, and inspect and reconnect damaged utilities like electricity, gas, and water.

Applications for the Back Home Grant can be made by calling 13 77 88, or by visiting the Service NSW website https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-for-the-flood-recovery-back-home-grant
