Great to be part of this launch today - especially during National Volunteers Week.

[Queensland Fire Department @QldFireDept]

Today, QFES launched Mindarma, an online program that supports the psychological wellbeing of volunteers.

Volunteers are embedded in their communities, often focused on helping those around them before looking after themselves.

A shout-out to all our dedicated SES volunteers who are always generously giving up their time to help community members in need. So far, this financial year, they have received more than 18,000 calls for assistance.

⚠️🛑 The risk of flooding is rising for many parts of Qld as rain continues to fall on already soaked grounds & swollen waterways.

If possible, reconsider the need to travel. The easiest way to stay safe is to just stay home.
