At Queensland Country Bank, we’re committed to standing by our local communities, especially in times of crisis. Following the devastating floods in North and Far North Queensland, we have donated $30,000 to help impacted residents rebuild their lives.
As a Member-owned bank, we support our communities, and we know that during natural disasters, quick and effective assistance is critical. Our donation will go directly to helping those in Townsville, Ingham, Cardwell, and surrounding areas access the essentials they need to recover.
To ensure our support reaches those who need it most, we have donated to the GIVIT North and Far North Queensland Flood Appeal, the Queensland Government’s official donation management partner. GIVIT is working closely with local councils, charities, and outreach teams. GIVIT ensures donations provide immediate and long-term assistance to flood-affected individuals and families.
The funds donated will be used to purchase grocery and fuel vouchers, essential household items, and recovery supplies, helping residents get back on their feet as quickly as possible. Wherever possible, items are sourced from local businesses, further supporting the economic recovery of the region.
Queensland Country Bank has partnered with GIVIT for multiple disaster appeals over the years including the Townsville 2019 Floods, 2022 South East Queensland Floods and 2022 South East Queensland Bush Fires.
We know that recovery from disasters like these takes time, and we’re proud to be part of the effort to rebuild stronger, more resilient communities following the North and Far North Queensland floods.
Queensland Country Bank continues to support flood-affected Members through our Financial Relief Support Package and liaising with our insurance partner CGU to ensure the efficient processing of claims. If you have been flood-affected.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us on 1800 075 078 to discuss your circumstances and find out more about the support that might be available to you.
