NAB has today extended its contribution to bushfire recovery efforts to $5 million, to provide immediate relief to business and agriculture customers and support longer-term recovery and rebuilding efforts in communities across Australia.
The additional measures include:
- A further $3 million to the NAB Disaster Relief fund (to a total of $4 million), extending its $2,000 emergency relief and recovery grants to impacted business owners and farmers. The fund will also support longer-term efforts to help impacted communities recover and rebuild.
- An additional $750,000 in donations (to a total of $1 million) to both the Australian Red Cross’ disaster preparedness, relief & recovery efforts, and donations to local organisations in impacted communities over the coming weeks and months.
NAB CEO Ross McEwan said the scale of the bushfires was devastating and had left many Australians with an uncertain future.
He said NAB was providing support to families, communities and businesses which had been directly affected.
“People have tragically lost loved ones, homes, pets, livestock and livelihoods,” he said.
“We want to help those affected start to rebuild, with some immediate assistance to help our customers and colleagues deal with the impact – as well as support the long-term recovery effort.”
Additional support now available for NAB business and agribusiness customers directly impacted by bushfires includes:
- $2,000 grants to help restart or reopen and cover the cost of damaged property, equipment, fencing – and for loss of stock or livestock. NAB business and agribusiness customer wishing to access the grants should call NAB’s dedicated team on 1300
