Emergency Relief Program

The Emergency Relief Program provides financial and/or material support to Queenslanders in financial crisis

The program provides support to vulnerable Queenslanders experiencing immediate financial hardship and provides access to items such as vouchers for food, transport and essential items, contributions to payment of third-party accounts such as utility bills, and through the provision of food parcels. Emergency Relief aims to prevent future financial crisis by referring people to appropriate financial and social support services.

We have funded services across Queensland to deliver this program. If you are struggling with unexpected financial pressures, and requiring financial support, you can seek assistance from one of the Emergency Relief services below.
