We would like to thank everyone for their interest in volunteering to help those affected by the Queensland Fires. It’s heartwarming to see the outpouring of community support during what is a difficult time for so many.

Councils and services on the ground are currently assessing need and are working with the necessary organisations to deliver critical and immediate support, as well as longer recovery support and help communities recover.

At this time there are no formal requests for volunteers. To register your interest in volunteering please visit: register.emergencyvolunteering.com.au You will be contacted by Volunteering Queensland if your assistance is required.

We encourage everyone to stay out of harm’s way and when it is safe to do so, help your family, friends, neighbours and groups or associations you have a connection with.
