Mental health support for disasters
It is common to experience a range of intense emotions following a traumatic event like a natural disaster. Some people may have experienced the event physically. Others may be affected in other ways whether it be concern about family and friends, hearing about people’s experiences during flooding, or extra workloads caused by the adverse event.
See your GP if you would like to discuss your mental health. There are also a number of other resources to assist your mental wellbeing, including:
- Beyond Blue (1300 22 46 36)
- Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800)

Bushfire health advice
Fine smoke particles can cause health problems like itchy or burning eyes, throat irritation, a runny nose, and illnesses like bronchitis. They can also aggravate existing lung conditions, like chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Symptoms can occur for several days after smoke is inhaled.
Residents should:
- close windows and doors
- use fans or air conditioning on recirculating mode to keep cool
- keep medications close by if suffering a respiratory condition
- be vigilant in taking prescribed medications for existing lung conditions.
If you have a known respiratory condition such as asthma please have your regular medication at hand and see your GP if you do not feel you are adequately prepared.
Residents should call Triple Zero (000) if you are having health problems or believe your property is under threat.
For more advice on looking after your health during and after a bushfire, visit the Queensland Government website.
