Northern Rivers Disaster

Recovery Volunteers

Connecting volunteers with communities across the Northern Rivers.

Northern Rivers Disaster Recovery Volunteers, or better know as NRDRV, is a community-focused organisation connecting two groups:

  • Flood-affected Residents, Property Owners, Landowners, and Community Groups needing practical recovery assistance.
  • Volunteers, Travellers, and Working Holiday Visa Holders who want to contribute to meaningful regional recovery work.
We support Flood Recovery, Property Restoration, Environmental Cleanup, Volunteer Coordination, Accommodation Support, and Regional Community Assistance throughout the Northern Rivers.
NRDRV was created from real lived experience. The core of how NRDRV is centered around providing assistance and opportunities for those in need, particulary the elderly or less fortunate. One of the co-founders has been successfuly coordinating volunteers for over 12 years through a similar WWOOF-style organic farming and regional work property program, giving the organisation strong experience in managing Travellers, Volunteers, Accommodation, Work Routines, Community-based projects and assisting in Visa Applications.
