Emergency Relief Program

BCA provides financial and material assistance for adults experiencing personal, family, relationship and/or financial issues.
 
The Service assists adults and children with basic needs in times of financial hardship, through the provision of:
   • Food parcels
   • Toiletries
   • Vouchers (food, clothes, chemist, transport)
   • Prepaid cards
   • Payment of third-party accounts
 
Please note that a Centrelink Income Statement is required unless you are affected by domestic and family violence and not receiving a Centrelink payment.
 
Burdekin Community Pantry
 
We are requesting donations for our Community Pantry. The items most needed are:
   • Fruit
   • Vegetables
   • Non-perishable food (e.g. canned vegetables or fruit, canned spaghetti or baked beans, long life milk, tea/coffee/sugar, pasta)
   • Sanity items
   • Toiletries
If possible, please deliver your donation to the Support Centre, 130 Queen St, Ayr.  Your help is very much appreciated.
 
Burdekin Community Recovery
 
Did you know that the BCA plays a significant role in Burdekin Community Recovery?  The team and I help to provide Human and Social community recovery planning and operations.  We work with council, state government agencies, other service providers and community groups to provide recovery assistance to affected members of the community during and post a disaster event.  This may include emotional, social and physical well-being services.  
 
Both the BCA Support Centre (130 Queen St Ayr) and Burdekin Centre for Rural Health (12a Chippendale St Ayr) are designated Burdekin Community Recovery Hubs.  Community Recovery Hubs are a place where residents who are experiencing hardship can apply for grants and obtain emotional and wellbeing support.
 
During and after the storm season we recommend that you prepare and stay up-to-date by monitoring the Burdekin Shire Council Disaster Management website, Bureau of Meteorology website, 630AM ABC radio and 97.1 SweetFM radio.
