Community recovery hubs are now open in flood affected regions where community recovery workers will be able to assist community members to meet their immediate personal needs, including applying for grants and accessing emotional support.

A rental recovery hub has been opened providing a one-stop shop for rental assistance as part of the flood recovery efforts in north Queensland. Flood-affected residents can now visit the Rising Sun Shopping Centre in Mundingburra – a dedicated space where agents and renters can access joined-up, coordinated advice and brokerage assistance to resolve their housing situations. The hub will operate from 10am to 3pm, 7 days a week, for as long as needed.
The Residential Tenancies Authority continues to be available on 1300 366 311 or www.rta.qld.gov.au, to provide advice to tenants about their options if their rental has been damaged.
If you are unable to return home, and need housing help, please register for emergency housing support by calling 13QGOV (13 74 68) or visiting www.hpw.qld.gov.au/ehar.
The North QLD Flood Register is also now available for homeowners to find local licenced tradespeople to repair damage, reconnect power or remove asbestos. To find an appropriately qualified local tradie, please visit qbcc.build/NQFloodRegister.
