Administration of Emergency Response Payments

The Government will provide $231.8 million in 2023-24 to enable Services Australia to respond to natural disaster events. Including the delivery of the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment and Disaster Recovery Allowance. This measure extends the 2022-23 October Budget measure titled Administration of COVID-19 and Emergency Payments. The Government will consider the nature of future funding for Services Australia to respond to natural disaster events when longer-term administration of the program is known.
