FRRR Strengthening Rural Communities | Prepare & Recover


The Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) Prepare & Recover program supports communities in remote, rural and regional communities across Australia to implement initiatives that prevent and prepare for future climate related impacts, or recover from existing disasters in the medium to long-term timeframe, generally one to ten years after the disaster.

Grants up to $25,000 are available for a broad range of initiatives to strengthen the capacity and capability of local people, organisations, networks, and systems that help communities to be informed, skilled, connected and resourced for the future.

Specifically, SRC Prepare & Recover will support communities impacted by the following disasters:

  • 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires;

  • 2021 QLD floods;

  • 2021 NSW floods;

  • 2021 WA Tropical Cyclone Seroja; and

  • 2022 flood events across NSW, QLD, SA, TAS and VIC.

Round 17 is now open and closes 5pm 31st May 2023.

Round 18 opens 1st June and closes 31st August 2023.
