Supporting the long term recovery of bushfire affected communities in Rural and Regional Victoria
A three-way partnership with FRRR, HMSTrust and the Sidney Myer Fund draws on experience of disaster recovery and will build the capacity of local organisations playing a central, coordinating or networking role in the recovery of Victorian communities affected by the Black Summer bushfires.

The Bushfire Recovery Fund results from a shared vision for aligning funding and support to community-led solutions in those Victorian communities impacted by the disastrous bushfires of late 2019 and early 2020. Experience from past bushfire disaster is that the recovery phase is best served by well-resourced local community organisations that understand local needs. It is critical that these organisations have the support needed to sustain their operations and meet increased demand during the recovery period.

"These grants recognise the vital role of these organisations and invest in the skills, tools and resources they need to support their community as they rebuild, and to sustain their work beyond the recovery" - Natalie Egleton, CEO of FRRR.
