Natural Disaster Relief Fund
As in previous natural disasters, the QTU stands ready to help members who have suffered losses in the flooding affecting parts of Queensland as a result of the current extreme weather event.
The fund was established by the QTU to assist members in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster to provide relief prior to other forms of assistance becoming accessible, such as federal and state government payments and insurance claims.
If you have lost possessions as the result of flood damage at your principal place of residence, you can claim a relief payment of up to $1,000 from the QTU Natural Disaster Fund.
The payment is only available to those who were financial members at the time of the loss, and at the time of application. Each application being individually assessed prior to payment.
Relief is not normally provided for damage incurred to vehicles, such as cars, caravans or motorbikes, and will also not be available for the repair of external fixtures and fittings, such as fencing, garages, sheds or to repair damage to outside areas, including gardens or paths, as these are normally covered by insurance.
Applications for QTU Natural Disaster Relief can be made via this online form.
Members can also apply by downloading a copy of this application form and sending it to the QTU, either by email qtu@qtu.asn.au - Subject: Natural Disaster Relief, or mail (PO Box 1750, Milton BC QLD 4064).
Our thoughts are with all Queenslanders who have been affected by these events.
Please note: Payment will be made upon assessment of application.
