• NAB launches relief measures for customers affected by severe weather in South-West Victoria.
• Disaster Relief Grants of $1,000 are being made available for eligible NAB customers in impacted areas.
• Loan deferrals, reduced repayment arrangements and hardship options available.

NAB is providing $1,000 grants and additional financial relief to customers severely impacted by weather and storms in South-West Victoria to assist them in the immediate 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 VIC and TAS Belinda Mamet said a range of support measures – from grants to loan payment deferrals and other relief measures – were in place to help NAB customers left devastated by the severe weather.

“To the Golden Plains Greater Geelong and Surf Coast families, communities, and businesses who have suffered damage to their homes, farms and premises: we are here to help,” Ms Mamet 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 Golden Plains Greater Geelong and Surf Coast are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible.”

Further support is available for NAB customers directly impacted, including:

• Loan deferral or reduced repayment arrangements for home, personal and some business loans.
• Hardship support 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.

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:

• Individuals: 1300 308 132 Mon-Fri, 8:00am to 7:00pm AEDT.
• Businesses: 1300 769 650 Mon – Fri, 8:00am to 5:00pm AEDT.
