Centacare sets up disaster resilience support shop
CENTACARE FNQ’s experienced team of mental health workers, case managers and community development specialists are opening a disaster recovery and resilience ‘support’ shop in Tully on Monday to help Cassowary Coast residents in the aftermath of the recent flooding disaster.
Their local disaster response team will be available Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm at 33c Butler Street, Tully (former Work Ways building).
Centacare FNQ executive director Anita Veivers said much-needed help was on its way to the residents of Cassowary Coast impacted by the January 2025 weather event.
“Our incredible team and strong partnerships with the Tully Neighbourhood Centre and community mean we can hit the ground running,” she said.
From Monday, for at least the next six months, Centacare FNQ will maintain an active presence in Tully and throughout the Cassowary Coast, ensuring that help is readily available for everyone affected and in need of support.
“Centacare FNQ will extend its disaster support services with community outreach that includes a pop-up shop in Cardwell and a series of support team visits to Mission Beach and South Mission Beach,” said Ms Veivers.
Centacare FNQ’s suite of disaster support services includes case management, system navigation, mental health assistance and community outreach.
