Queensland Disaster Recovery Hub

Queensland floods in March 2026 affected a broad swathe of the state, with significant impacts in Bundaberg, Rockhampton, and surrounding LGAs. The Queensland Government activated Personal Hardship Assistance, DRFA, and Queensland Reconstruction Authority support programs for eligible residents in declared disaster areas.

The 27 April 2026 deadline applies to government assistance programs only. Insurance claims under your home or contents policy are not subject to this government program deadline — standard policy lodgement timeframes apply, typically 30–90 days from discovery of damage.

• QLD Personal Hardship Assistance — emergency and essential household support for eligible flood-affected residents. disaster.qld.gov.au
• DRFA (Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements) — infrastructure and individual assistance for declared LGAs. qra.qld.gov.au
• QRA Structural Assistance Grant — up to $80,000 for eligible homeowners to repair disaster-damaged dwellings to a safe and habitable standard.

Check current eligibility and activation status at official Queensland Government sources before applying. NRPG is a restoration and claim support service and does not administer government grants.

Tropical Cyclone Maila is tracking towards Cape York Peninsula and Far North Queensland. Residents in Cairns, Cape York, and surrounding communities should monitor BOM advisories and follow Queensland Government emergency guidance.

Certified restoration contractors are on standby across FNQ for post-Maila deployment. Property damage assessments, cyclone drying protocols, and insurance documentation can be initiated within 24 hours of safe access to affected areas.

Flood damage claims in Queensland frequently involve disputes over coverage scope, moisture assessment, mould arising after incomplete drying, and insurer-appointed assessor underscoping. IICRC-certified contractors provide independent documentation that supports both initial claims and AFCA escalations.

• AFCA claims escalation: afca.org.au — free, independent dispute resolution for insurance claims.
