Applying for the Resilient Homes Program

Applying for the Resilient Homes Program

The Resilient Homes Program is open for applications in the Northern Rivers, and will be open for applications in the Central West from 10am Monday 28 October 2024.

You can begin your application by completing the online application form.

Apply now

Please have digital versions of the following documents ready to attach to the form:

• evidence that you are the owner of the property (such as a recent rates notice)
• evidence of name changes since you purchased the property, if relevant
• insurance policies from the time of the flood and other relevant correspondence from your insurer, including any documentation regarding claims and benefits received, if relevant
• copies of leases or tenancy agreements, if relevant
• photos of the property before and after the flood
• receipts for any renovations or repairs done after the flood.

Our Resilient Homes Program team is progressively reviewing applications and a member of our team will contact you to discuss your application when it has been reviewed. We are assessing applications for homes in the highest risk areas and those with the most damage first. 

Support with your application

If you have started an application form but need assistance in completing it, including uploading documents, our Resilient Homes Program team can help you to do this. You can make an appointment or drop into one of our Community Pop-up locations or call us on 1800 844 085.

Note: As part of the application process, the NSW Reconstruction Authority will store and protect personal information until no longer required, and may share information with partner agencies as part of the course and delivery of work.

The NSW Reconstruction Authority and NSW Government agencies must comply with the Privacy and Personal Information Act 1998 and Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002, which regulate the storage, use and disclosure of personal information held by Government Agencies.

View the Privacy Collection Notice.

Applications for other recovery programs

If you have applied for other NSW Government recovery programs (for example the Flood Property Assessment Program (FPAP), Disaster Relief Grant) or Temporary Housing (for Central West residents) and may be eligible for the Resilient Homes Program, you may be contacted to complete a separate application for the Resilient Homes Program.

Your eligibility for the Resilient Homes Program is not affected by your participation in the Flood Property Assessment Program.
