DRFA

Engage The Six C’s to maximise your DRFA reimbursements

Weather related disasters have increased by a factor of 5 over the past 50 years. If your Council hasn’t been affected yet, its just a matter of time. Currently in Australia there are over 17 declared emergencies with 481 declared disasters over 10 years impacting hundreds of LGA’s and in some cases impacting LGA’s multiple times.

If your organisation has ever tried to submit a DRFA claim you will understand that it is complex, time consuming and stressful for employees. Why not reach out and engage The Six C’s who have:

  • Demonstrated experience in supporting Councils in successful DRFA claims.
  • Supported councils to receive $13 million + in successful DRFA claims
  • A success rate of over 97.92% in successful DRFA claims

Before a declared disaster

If you leave it until your LGA is impacted by a natural disaster to try and understand the DRFA it could cost your organisation millions. Get all your ducks in a row before an emergency to ensure your organisation is ready.

The Six C’s can support you through the entire preparation process:

Step 1: Analysis

During the analysis phase we will:

  • Conduct a comprehensive assessment of your organisations preparedness level to assess your compliance to the DRFA
  • Provide you with a comprehensive report that outlines any improvements that are required for your organisation to become compliant

Step 2: Implementation

During the implementation phase we can coordinate the entire process or support your organisation in getting those ducks in a row.
