ADA NSW’s thoughts continue to be with any of our members, their practices and teams affected by the recent floods across large parts of NSW and ongoing recovery.

For any members whose practices have been affected, jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Funding Recovery Assistance (DFRA) is now available for businesses and individuals in dozens of areas across NSW.

Assistance available under the DRFA may include: 

• Help for eligible people whose homes or belongings have been damaged (eligibility criteria apply);
• ​Concessional interest rate loans for small businesses.

For information on possible financial assistance, contact Service NSW on 13 77 88 or visit www.nsw.gov.au/floods

To apply for a concessional interest rate loan, contact the NSW Rural Assistance Authority on 1800 678 593 or visit www.raa.nsw.gov.au.

Further information on disaster assistance is available via www.recovery.gov.au.

The ADA NSW Advisory Services team continues to provide dentist-to-dentist support to members in NSW and the ACT. Call (02) 8436 990 for assistance.

For community advice in your area, members are also advised to visit the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) website via www.ses.nsw.gov.au
