Queensland based Specialist Disability Accommodate provider Youngcare is providing limited emergency flood relief to people with high physical support needs in Queensland and New South Wales who have been affected by the recent floods. 

This is the first time the organisation has been in a position to offer disaster assistance, with funding delivering emergency support and contributions towards disability equipment, household items and utilities which may have been damaged or lost in the floods.

Youngcare CEO, Greg Johnson said the organisation was witnessing firsthand the impact the floods have on people with high physical support needs.

“Rainfall and widespread flooding have devastated east coast communities, with thousands of people misplaced and for young people with physical support needs there has never been a more critical time to provide emergency assistance,” he said.
