Flood Recovery Infrastructure
Grants Program 2023
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
Eligible primary health care services located in the Lismore Local Government Area (LGA) whose premises were impacted by the 2022 floods were invited to apply for an infrastructure repair or relocation grant. Applications closed Friday 24 March at 5pm.
Co-funded by the Australian Government and NSW Government through a $5 million flood recovery package, the grants offer financial assistance either as reimbursement for already incurred expenses or for upcoming expenses relating to repairs for flood-damaged buildings and equipment or relocation to alternative premises within the Lismore LGA.

Funding details
Applications closed 24 March 2023.
Up to $150,000 per eligible grant recipient was available to rebuild flood-damaged infrastructure (buildings or fit-outs), repair or replace flood-damaged equipment or relocate to alternative premises within the Lismore LGA.Â
- Where a grant applicant’s rebuilding, repair, or relocation expenses were less than $150,000, the grant amount will not exceed the cost of rebuilding, repair, or relocation.Â
- Applicants who had received support under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and/or other NSW Government grants could still apply for a Flood Recovery Infrastructure Grant, but any financial support already received was taken into account. For example, if there was an application for $80,000 to replace flood-damaged equipment and the applicant had already received $20,000 under DRFA or NSW grant support, $60,000 may be available under the Flood Recovery Infrastructure Grants Program.Â
- Where a grant applicant had been highly impacted and had extensive rebuilding, repair, or relocation costs exceeding $150,000, an application could be submitted for a higher funding amount and would be evaluated by Healthy North Coast on a case-by-case basis.Â
Important – Grant funding was available only for costs relating to damage to premises or equipment that was uninsured or for which insurance was prohibitively expensive.Â
