A $37 million boost has been announced for the bushfire-affected communities across Victoria.

The State Government will provide more than 100 temporary modular houses for people without adequate insurance on homes that were significantly damaged or destroyed.
The modular houses are costing $33 million and an additional $4 million will fund more legal services for families, small businesses and primary producers.

Over $800,000 will also be given to the Rural Financial Counselling Service to help employ more financial and wellbeing counsellors.
Premier Jacinta Allan said the government will continue to stand with the impacted communities to deliver the practical help they need to rebuild and recover.

The funding brings the total recovery assistance for the January 2026 bushfires to more then $420 million.

Victorian Minister for Agriculture Michaela Settle said: “Bushfires leave a lasting impact on farms, families and communities, which is why we’re backing Victorians with the support they need to recover, rebuild and prepare for the future.”

Over 400,000 hectares of land was burned in Victoria in January this year.
