Community Support Services Brochure - Brisbane



Community Support It is normal for families and individuals to experience a range of reactions to unexpected events, including disasters, job loss and changing circumstances. For some, financial loss may mean seeking income support; for others it could mean revising retirement plans or changing household spending. Regardless of the circumstances, distress is a common and natural response to unexpected events. This brochure contains a range of general local and community support services available to individuals and their families experiencing financial and emotional hardship as a result of an unexpected event or changed work or financial circumstances.Further information is available at or by phoning the Community Recovery Hotline 1800 173 349.You can also download the free Self-Recovery app from the Apple or Android Stores Queensland Government (QGOV)For all other government enquiries13 74 68General Community Support Services DV Connect Mensline1800 600 636DV Connect Womensline1800 811 811Relationships Australia1300 364 277Beyond Blue Info Line1300 224 636Lifeline Telephone Counselling13 11 14Kid’s Help Line1800 551 800Gambling Help Line1800 858 858Parentline1300 301 300Salvation Army13 72 58Seniors Enquiry Line1300 135 500Australian Red Cross1300 554 419RSPCA1300 264 625St Vincent de Paul Society3010 1096Workplace ServicesFair Work Ombudsman13 13 94National Customer Service Line13 62 68Services AustraliaMedicare – General Enquiries13 20 11Centrelink Australian Apprenticeships13 36 33Centrelink Employment Services13 28 50Farmer Assistance Hotline13 23 16Legal and Advocacy ServicesLegal Aid Queensland1300 651 188Basic Rights Queensland1800 358 511Australian Financial Complaints Authority1800 367 678Financial CounsellingNational Debt Hotline1800 007 007Consumer AdviceOffice of Fair Trading 13 74 68Community Support ServicesBrisbane RegionYour HomeBrisbane City Council3403 8888Redland City Council3829 8999SES - Flood / Storm Emergency13 25 00Tenants Queensland1300 744 263Residential Tenancies Authority1300 366 311Smart Service Qld - Qld Govt Info & Services13 74 68Homeless Hotline1800 474 753Insurance Council of Australia1300 728 228Telstra - Crowd Support13 22 00Optus – Customer Service13 39 37Energex – General Enquiries13 12 53Energex Emergency (24/7)13 19 62Ergon Energy – Customer Service13 10 46Ergon Energy – Life ThreateningEmergencies (24/7)13 16 70Origin Energy and Gas13 24 6113HEALTH13 43 25 84North Brisbane AreaSupport and Advisory ServicesCO.AS.IT Community Services Inc3262 5755Lifeline13 11 14Nundah Community Centre3260 6820Zillmere Community Centre3865 2880Communify Queensland3510 2700Australian Red Cross - Milton1300 554 419Picabeen Community Assoc3354 2555The Community Place3857 1152Inner City Brisbane AreaSupport and Advisory ServicesNew Farm Neighbourhood Centre3358 5600Centacare1300 236 822Micah Projects Inc3029 7000Brisbane Youth Service3620 2400HART 40003004 0100South Brisbane AreaSupport and Advisory ServicesEast Brisbane Community Centre3896 1300St David's Neighbourhood Centre3274 3240Elorac Place Community Centre1300 865 307Sherwood Neighbourhood Centre3379 6963Acacia Ridge Community Centre3277 4893HUB Neighbourhood Centre3372 3770Inala Community House3372 1711Benarrawa Community Development Association3379 9925Kyabra Community Association3373 9499Bayside/Redlands AreaSupport and Advisory ServicesRedland Community Centre3245 2117Yulu-Burri-Ba Aboriginal Corporation for Community Health(North Stradbroke Island) 3409 9596Bay Islands Community Services 3409 1177Emergency ReliefSouthside Community Care3343 1441Redland Community Centre3245 2117Material Goods Assistance All AreasSalvation Army Queensland Divisional Headquarters3222 6666Salvos Stores Brisbane3368 6340Lifeline Head Office3253 4000Emergency ReliefAll AreasWesley Mission Queensland1800 448 448Salvation Army13 72 58St Vincent de Paul Society3010 1000SVDPS – Qld Statewide Assist1800 846 643Other ServicesCrime Stoppers Australia1800 333 000Animal Welfare League Qld3631 6800 General Enquiries5509 9000Elder Abuse Helpline1300 651 192Poisons Information Centre13 11 26Commonwealth Respite and Commonwealth Respite & Carelink Centres1800 052 222 CR&CC1800 059 059 (A/H)Qld Community Support Scheme1800 600 300Commonwealth Ombudsman1300 362 072Energy & Water Ombudsman1800 662 837Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman1800 062 058Your BusinessApprenticeships Hotline1800 210 210Department of Agriculture & Fisheries General Enquiries13 25 23Qld Rural & Industry Development Authority1800 623 946Interpreter ServicesTelephone Interpreter Service13 14 50For emergency response including Police, Fire and Ambulance000 1733525146000To donate visit .au ................
