NAB is providing $1,000 grants and additional financial relief to eligible customers impacted by severe storms in Broken Hill and the surrounding region to assist them in the aftermath.
The grants will help NAB customers who have suffered significant damage to their home, farm or business cover emergency expenses.
NAB Executive Retail for NSW and ACT Tony Story said a range of support measures - from grants to loan payment deferrals and other relief measures - were in place to help impacted NAB customers.
"The message for families, communities and businesses in impacted areas who have suffered damage to their homes, farms and premises is that we're here to help," Mr Story 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 in the impacted local government areas who have been affected by storms and related power outages are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible."
Impacted local government areas include Broken Hill, Central Darling and the Unincorporated Far West.
Further support is available for NAB customers directly impacted, including:
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.
For further assistance, impacted customers are encouraged to visit Natural Disaster Relief and Support at nab.com.au. If a customer is unable to access the internet, over the phone assistance is available by calling:
All enquiries will be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the NAB Assist team to determine eligibility. Disaster Relief Grants for severely impacted eligible NAB customers will remain open until 13th November 2024.
Grants are not available for minor damage to homes or for damage to personal items and appliances, sheds, garages, gardens, or loss or damage to investment properties or holiday homes. NAB also has a longstanding policy to provide employees who are emergency service volunteers as much paid crisis leave as they require during emergencies.
