ANZ will donate $50,000 to support the Kimberley communities of Derby and Fitzroy Crossing to recover in aftermath of the worst flood event to hit WA.
The ANZ donation will be distributed across the Lord Mayor’s Distress Fund, the Leedal Foundation, and the Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health (FISH).
The Lord Mayor’s Distress Fund works, together with the Western Australian government, to help in the immediate recovery effort.
The Leedal Foundation partners with local organisations to coordinate assistance to people who have been impacted, especially in the Far North of the region.
FISH will use the donation to help deliver children’s school packs, teacher’s educational resources, and reading books for those schools impacted by the recent flooding.
“The scale of this flooding has become widespread since we announced our initial relief measures and this is yet another way we can help the community recover,” said Kathleen Jahour, ANZ GM Western Australia.
“The Kimberley community have been resilient in coming together during this difficult time. We understand the impact that disasters like this have on the community, and we want our customers to know that we will keep supporting them as the recovery continues.”
Flood-impacted ANZ customers can contact ANZ’s dedicated financial hardship team on 1800 149 549 or at anz.com.au/support/natural-disaster-support/.
Customers can also visit the Derby or Broome branches or contact their relationship manager to discuss the impact on their business or personal circumstances.
For customers with ANZ home and contents insurance who may be eligible for emergency funds and temporary accommodation, they can lodge their claims by calling 13 16 14 or visiting anz.com/insuranceclaims.
