The Sunshine Coast Disaster Recovery team provides clinical interventions to promote recovery for individuals and families who are impacted by disasters, such as rainfall and flooding events, to enhance the mental well-being of individuals, families, carers and community members.

The team aim to increase the psychological preparedness of our community by working with government and community agencies, stakeholders and first responders, schools, and primary healthcare providers who have been affected by disasters and to support their mental well-being and psychological capability to respond to disasters.

The SEQ Rainfall and flooding Disaster Recovery Positions are proudly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
