Insurance industry declares catastrophe as Tropical Cyclone Alfred batters Queensland and New South
Although now classified as a tropical low, the effects of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred have been felt most severely in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Hervey Bay, and the Northern Rivers. Insurers have already received nearly 3,000 claims, a number expected to rise as residents return to assess the damage.
The Albanese Government is activating financial support for communities directly affected by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred through the Disaster Recovery Allowance.
More than 238,000 households are without power, with flash flooding shutting down one Queensland community and another warned to seek higher ground.
