Over the past few weeks, communities across Queensland and northern New South Wales have experienced extreme heavy rains and flooding. This has been a difficult and uncertain time for many people. Because of this, we have collated a list of resources and crisis support services for people impacted by the floods.  We also encourage all members who have been impacted by the floods and require any support to get in contact with us by calling 1800 033 660 or emailing us on bca@bca.org.au. You can also use our text line at 0436 446 780.
