For those who have been affected by recent disasters, I hope your clean up and recovery goes well. NAB are providing $1,000 to their customers in affected areas. Applications are open for those who were customers two weeks prior to the declared disaster who live in the relevant disaster declared areas. This seems to be an ongoing thing for all disasters but for now the only ones NAB are supporting are:
Disaster | Application Closing Date |
---|---|
Severe Tropical Cyclone Zelia | 20 March 2025 |
NSW Hilltops severe weather | 20 March 2025 |
South-west VIC storms | 28 March 2025 |
Tropical Cyclone Alfred | 4 April 2025 |
I tried applying but since I hadn't had any use or transactions of my NAB account in the past month, I wasn't eligible. I'm not sure if there's a "minimum" number of transactions they look at.
Further criteria:
- your primary place of residence or business is in a disaster-impacted area, opens in new window declared by the Australian Government
- your primary place of residence or business has experienced damage where major or minor repairs are required to the interior or exterior of the property
- you’re unable to reside in the property due to damage, total loss or any potential health risk
- you’re a business or agriculture customer who has suffered damage to property, equipment, fencing or loss of stock and livestock
- you were a NAB customer at the time specified
- you’re applying within the grant eligibility period
