Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin says flood affected people in Lismore and surrounding areas can book in for one-on-one personalised support with flood assistance applications.
A team of NSW Government flood grant specialists will be in Lismore from 6 to 10 June to provide personalised appointments for residents, businesses and primary producers to progress their grant applications.
“Over the past three months I have had so many people come to me distressed about problems applying for flood assistance and the complexities of the different grants and eligibility guidelines.
“I have been calling for better support for people through the application process, and am pleased that a team of grant specialists is now coming to Lismore to provide much needed one-on-one appointments.
“There are seven NSW Government grants available for individuals, households, business owners and primary producers and the grants assessors will have the latest information about eligibility and be able to guide people through the application process,” Ms Saffin said.

Appointments (up to 45 minutes) will be held in the Anzac Room at Lismore Workers Sports Club, 202 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah.
