People need your help, many are under water and they need somewhere safe to stay for a few days.  Emergency shelters are not always welcoming to trans, gay and lesbians especially couples.

QNews has had a few calls already asking for help and ideas, so we are runiing a billiting program. Most other GLBTIQ organmisations are closed or on reduced staff at this time so we are trying our hardest to help people but need your help please!

If you have any accommodation available or if you need somewhere safe for a few days statewide QLD and NSW then please click below to assist.  We also need people to help with pets etc.

Please CLICK BELOW to seek a safe place to stay or to offer accommodation.
