TROPICAL CYCLONE ALFRED SERVICES UPDATE

Due to approaching Tropical Cyclone Alfred Health Consumers Queensland services will be reduced over coming days with some staff still available online. However, services may cease at any time in consideration of the safety of our staff.

As communities throughout South East Queensland have prepared for the approaching cyclone some Community Led Discussion meetings have had to be postponed but they will be rescheduled by the hosts as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.

While there is still some uncertainty surrounding the impact of the cyclone and what to expect that may create anxiety for some people but don’t be afraid to ask for help, stay alert to announcements and stay safe.

We hope you are well bunkered down, have all you need to ride it out and we know Queenslanders are a resilient bunch and will support each other to bounce back once the storm has passed.

HCQ will be connecting with the network again as soon as we are able to safely return to work at full capacity. We will look forward to hearing from you and your community, and we will update the network on upcoming activities.
