Small businesses and not-for-profits can now apply for grants of up to $50,000, to help them recover from the storms which wreaked havoc across the region.
Gunnedah was one of the worst hit at the time, with homes and businesses being inundated with water which in many cases caused long-term damage.
NSW Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience, Steph Cooke, said it's important to start the recovery, but also warned that storms could hit again over the coming months.
