Flood Emergency – Donate online

The Queensland Government has launched an appeal to help fellow Queenslanders affected by the recent floods. Many communities have been devastated. Some families have lost everything. You can help make a difference by donating to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal.

The Premier has announced the establishment of a Distribution Committee, a committee including representatives from the Australian Red Cross, to manage the disbursement of the donated funds.

 At this time, the Queensland Government is inviting financial donations only. Unfortunately this appeal cannot accept donations of goods or services. Please do not turn up directly at the evacuation centres as they are not currently staffed to handle the donations.

If you have quality goods or items you can donate them through Givit.org.au, a not-for-profit organisation that provides charities with access to donated goods.
