Queensland Health has teamed up with the Royal Flying Doctors Service to urgently fly-in mental health staff to flood affected areas in North and Western Queensland.
Health Minister Steven Miles says this will ensure Queenslanders affected by the floods are supported, especially farmers, many of whom have lost livestock.
A total of 14 mental health staff have been deployed in Townsville, with more planning to travel shortly.
If you are struggling with mental health please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.
