Applications for the natural disaster assistance are now closed.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship, Translating and Interpreting Service was utilised in the application process to assist primary producers from non-English speaking backgrounds with their Western Australian Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements' claims.
The Carnarvon office of Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia employed a Vietnamese speaking officer (Mr Hung Dinh Tran) for two weeks in January 2011, to provide interpreter services for non-English speaking growers.
