Hardship grants available to storm affected Queenslanders

Emergency Hardship Assistance grants ranging from $180 per person to $900 for a family of five are available.

"Once again we've been reminded of the dangers of storm season," the Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.

"This money can help with essentials like food and clothing.

"The damage this storm did is absolutely shocking, and I know every little bit helps."

Other grants such the Essential Household Contents Grant, Structural Assistance Grant and Essential Services Safety and Reconnection Grant are also available as a safety net for eligible residents who satisfy an income test, are uninsured and have experienced certain loss or damage.

People who need financial assistance in affected suburbs can phone the Community Recovery Hotline on 1800-173-349, visit www.communityrecovery.qld.gov.au or download and use the Self-recovery app.
