“To the Bega Valley and Gippsland families, communities and businesses who have suffered damage to their homes, farms and premises: we are here to help,” Ms Jones said.
“This will be a testing time for our communities and we’re standing by them, providing immediate assistance and making $1,000 grants available to help those most affected.
“NAB customers impacted in Bega Valley and Gippsland are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible.”
Further support is available for NAB customers directly impacted, including:

- for customers struggling to make minimum monthly payments on personal loans, home loans or credit cards.
- Deferring upcoming credit card payments.
- Waiving and/or refunding fees and charges, including merchant terminal fees and early access fees to term deposits.
- NAB colleagues who have been evacuated from their place of residence or cut off from support services can also access funds to assist with accessing temporary accommodation and everyday essentials.
