2022/2023 floods

The recent flooding throughout Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia has been an extremely difficult experience for many communities. People have suffered severe damage to homes and been unable to go to work, take children to school and in some cases, even access roads.

The Kimberley region in Western Australia have been hit particularly hard in recent weeks, with remote First Nations communities greatly impacted.
