Emergency Recovery Support Program (ERSP)

We’re here to help you plan your recovery

The Emergency Recovery Support Program (ERSP) is delivered by Colac Area Health and funded by DFFH.

We would love to have a chat to find out if we can support you, your neighbours, friends or family.

We offer practical, face-to-face support to help you:

  • Understand what needs to be done and where to start
  • Explore the supports available to you
  • Access the services you need

We do this by:

  • Meeting you where you feel most comfortable — at home, in the community, at a café, hall, or another suitable place
  • Listening to your needs and concerns
  • Working with you to develop a personalised Support Action Plan
  • Assisting with phone calls, paperwork, follow-ups, and helping to ease the load

We can also support you to access:

  • Financial advice and assistance
  • Information and guidance around insurance and legal matters
  • Government services and registrations
  • Local services and community supports

We will be visiting impacted areas across Colac Otway Shire and Corangamite Shire.

Wednesday afternoons so please drop in and have a chat with us.

If you’re unable to attend, you can call 1800 560 760 to access support.
