Regional Development Victoria (RDV) supports a range of collaborative activities before, during and after emergency events, as defined by Victorian emergency management arrangements. As a recovery support agency, we assist economic recovery as part of a whole of government effort.
Following significant disruptions such as natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, RDV works alongside partners including Agriculture Victoria and Small Business Victoria to support the recovery of businesses and resilient local economies.
