The Albanese government has announced an estimated $4m in emergency relief for hundreds of Aboriginal families who have been left without money to pay for their loved ones' funerals after the collapse of disgraced insurer ACBF-Youpla earlier this year.

The Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, said traumatised and grieving families would now be able to bury their loved ones.
