A strong voice for
regional South Australia

An extra $400 for each child that has qualified for the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment in bushfire-hit towns and regions as well as more food vouchers, financial assistance and support services will help Australians affected by the ongoing bushfire disaster.

Bushfire-hit communities in the Adelaide Hills and Kangaroo Island Council areas will be able to rebuild vital infrastructure sooner with an initial and immediate $1 million grant each from the Morrison Government.

Minister for Families and Social Services Anne Ruston said changes to the welfare system that take place from 1 January 2020 would provide more support for Australians in need.
