The January 2026 Victorian bushfires have impacted a number of communities and tourism operators across the state.
The Victorian Government, through Emergency Recovery Victoria, is working with communities to support relief and recovery efforts, helping businesses, employees and residents access practical assistance, financial support and wellbeing services as they recover.
Tourism operators in affected areas are encouraged to explore available business recovery support to assist with reopening and planning for the months ahead.
Key support available
- Emergency relief payments and financial assistance
- Business bushfire recovery grants and advisory services
- Local recovery hubs providing in-person support
- Wellbeing and mental health services for owners and staff
As recovery continues, staying connected to official updates will support informed decision-making and visitor communication.
