Navigating Recovery Together

Rebuilding Information Session

Local residents still navigating the complex challenges of recovery and rebuilding after recent disasters are invited to attend an important Rebuilding Information Session hosted by Centacare at the Cardwell RSL Sub Branch.

At previous sessions, attendees walked away with renewed motivation after their confusion and uncertainty were replaced with clear, practical steps forward. This upcoming evening aims to deliver the same outcome, offering vital information, guidance and one-on-one advice.

A strong line-up of expert speakers will cover key areas such as building and construction processes, insurance, financial support, mental health and community recovery.

Speakers on the night will include:

• William Courtney (Billy), QBCC – Building sites, scope of works, contractors, end-of-works handovers.
• Julie Maron, Legal Aid – Insurance, AFCA, legal advice.
• Zack Wildy, iCan – Financial counselling, debt management, financial support.
• Libby Carney, Queensland Government Community Recovery – State government grants, disaster funding arrangements.
• Pat Sim, Centacare FNQ – Recovery support and mental health.

This is a great opportunity for residents to connect directly with professionals who can help them take the next steps in their rebuilding journey.

Thanks go to Rob and Jeff from Cardwell RSL for generously hosting the event and providing afternoon tea and light refreshments. All residents are welcome. For more information, contact Centacare FNQ or Cardwell RSL.
