Community Disaster Response and Recovery Grant now open

Community Disaster Response and Recovery Grant now open to assist Noosa community.

The first round of Noosa Council’s Community Disaster Response and Recovery Grant is now taking applications.

Noosa Council has received $60,000 worth of funding from the Public Health Network (PHN) to support communities to recover and build resilience.

It’s part of the mental health support package to assist flood-affected Australians.

Council’s community grant officer Meagan Monk said the grants were open to eligible organisations to fund a social worker to help those in crisis as a result of the recent disaster.

“It is a top priority for council to promote wellbeing and healing in the community, so we set this as one of our main objectives when offering this grant to potential recipients,” continued Ms Monk.

The grant round closes at noon, Friday 7 October. Results will be announced in November 2022.
