She said the Eurobodalla Bushfire Recovery Support Service was jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments to provide one-on-one support to people affected by the bushfires.

Ms Phillips said nine months after the outbreak of fire South Coast people still struggled to navigate "complex bushfire recovery processes".

She said she was delighted to join recovery service coordinator Jane Moxon and Eurobodalla Shire Council at the official opening of the service on Friday, August 14.

"Some time may have passed, but the reality is that people impacted by the bushfires are still hurting," Ms Phillips said.

"There is help out there but it has often been confusing and difficult for people to find.

"Not only this, but people continually tell me how distressing it is to tell your story over and over."

A spokesperson said the service had received 400 referrals since opening on July 13.

Six case managers had been employed and two more were being recruited.

"I have long fought for case managers so people can get the help they need when they need it. I am thrilled to see that come to life in the Eurobodalla today. This is a huge win for our community," Ms Phillips said.

"Thank you to Jane and the whole team for their remarkable work supporting our community."

However, Ms Phillips queried why it took so long for the service to be provided.

"I will keep fighting to make sure that people impacted by the bushfires in our community are not forgotten," she said.
