Queensland Disaster Funding Guidelines (December 2024)
The Queensland Disaster Funding Guidelines (QDFG) December 2024 outline Queensland's two disaster relief and recovery arrangements: the DRFA and the State Disaster Relief Arrangements (SDRA) and should be used for events that occur from December 2024 onwards - unless otherwise stated in the Guideline. QDFG section 2.2.1 provides a summary of Guideline changes.
NOTE: The QDFG December 2024 has been updated to ensure alignment with the enhancements and approved updates to the DRFA arrangements. A full review of the QDFG is scheduled for 2025 in line with the annual review cycle.
The Guidelines purpose is to:

- detail the activation, eligibility, application, delivery, reporting and acquittal requirements under both the DRFA and SDRA within Queensland
- provide a guide for local governments and state government agencies, not-for-profit organisations, primary producers, small businesses and the general public, on financial assistance and funding that may be available in the event of a disaster.
