The heartbroken family of one of the children killed in Tasmania's jumping castle disaster say there are no words for the grief of losing a "fun-loving kid".
"We will reach out our arms and we'll throw them around the community of Devonport, and Australia will throw their arms around Tasmania as they seek to console for what has been an unthinkable time," Mr Morrison said.Additional trauma counselling, training for emergency services in trauma, informed care, and psychological first aid will all benefit from the financial assistance.
"We know support won't just be needed in the next few weeks, it will be needed for many, many, many months, to try and begin that process of healing," Mr Morrison said.Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein thanked the prime minister for the funding to support the community after the tragedy.
