The joint Australian, state and territory governments' Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) provide a range of financial assistance to the natural disaster-declared areas in each state or territory.
For the storms and floods which commenced on 30 August 2016, the available assistance measures include:
- personal hardship and distress assistance
- restoration of essential public assets
- counter disaster operations
- concessional loans for small businesses, primary producers and voluntary non-profit organisations

In addition to this, clean-up and recovery grants of up to $15 000 are also available for eligible primary producers in the LGAs of Bland, Bogan, Forbes, Lachlan, Narromine, Parkes and Warren.
