Working in close partnership with local organisations, the team is leading coordinated recovery efforts. With an experienced local team of case managers and mental health professionals, Centacare is providing immediate relief and support to help residents recover, rebuild and strengthen community resilience for the long term.
Centacare FNQ’s Disaster Recovery Team Leader Patrick Sim said his team remains committed to actively supporting the Cardwell Community and the surrounding areas.
“As part of our ongoing efforts, our team will be conducting door-to-door visits in the coming weeks to check in with residents, offer assistance, and provide updated information on available recovery services.
"We understand that recovery is a long journey, and we are here to ensure no one is left behind. If you see our team in your area, please don’t hesitate to reach out - we’re here to help.”
Centacare FNQ will maintain an active presence in Cardwell and throughout the Cassowary Coast, ensuring that help is readily available for everyone affected and in need of support.
Their suite of disaster support services includes case management, system navigation, mental health assistance, and community outreach.
