Government Services Minister Linda Reynolds has broken down the new payment schemes that are available for flood-affected victims.

Ms Reynolds told Jim Wilson more than $375 million of flood assistance will be rolled out by the federal government to help those communities affected by the floods.

The initial joint funding is in conjunction with the NSW government and is focusing on assisting in the cleanup process.

“LGA’s can apply for funding to clean up and remove the damage and debris.

“Payments are for… people with lost income.”

“These payments are for the next phase.”
