### sch.44-sec.5B Amount of financial assistance—home raising works
The maximum amount of financial assistance available under the scheme for home raising works is—

for category B works—$150,000; or

However, financial assistance is available under the scheme for home raising works only if the report for the eligible home assessment mentioned in section 6 (1) (d) states that it is practicable to raise the eligible home.
Home raising works for an eligible home are category A works if the habitable floor level of the home is below—
the flood hazard level that applies to the home; and
the flood event level that applies to the home.
Home raising works for an eligible home are category B works if category A does not apply but the habitable floor level of the home is below—
the flood hazard level that applies to the home; or
the flood event level that applies to the home.
Home raising works for an eligible home are category C works if the works are not category A works or category B works.
