As many of you are aware, intense storms and rainfall across Queensland and Northern NSW have caused flash flooding across both states.
Tens of thousands of homes and businesses are without power or have been damaged by floodwaters. Entire communities have been evacuated and people don’t know when they will be able to return home.Funds raised from the Qld and NSW Floods Appeal 2022 will enable Australian Red Cross to provide humanitarian support to affected people and communities.

This will consist of $90,000 towards its appeal, supporting evacuation, relief and outreach, and $10,000 worth of ride and meal credits for staff and volunteers on the frontline, who have worked tirelessly around the clock since the floods began.In addition, Uber will provide $10,000 worth of free rides and meals for Lifeline staff and volunteers, to assist in the huge increase in demand for crisis and mental wellbeing support.
