Thank you for the generous offers of help to volunteer for those affected by the Central Queensland fires. We can always count on Queenslanders to want to help one another when times are tough.

However, at the moment authorities say there is no pressing need yet for assistance, and agencies have the situation in hand. Firefighting crews and emergency services teams are doing an outstanding job and we greatly appreciate their efforts.

We will update our Emergency Volunteering website if and when help from the community is needed, so please check back in the coming days and weeks.

We encourage you to keep updated with the latest information by following messages from the Queensland Premier, your local Council, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, and ABC Emergency.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted.
