Think Ahead - Flooding

Our Member Support team is ready to take calls from members currently affected by flooding. Call us on 1800 991 602 or (02) 4782 1470 (Option 2) to ask us about:

• service opening
• staffing
• wages
• regulations
• funding assistance

or call us if you just need to talk.

The first things you should consider during events such as these are: 

• Communicate with your families, staff and regulators about what is happening around your service.
  
  
• Contact your insurer at the earliest opportunity to notify them of any possible damage which may result in a claim, even if the extent of damage is yet to be assessed. Do not delay doing this. Contact your insurance broker if you are unsure what to do.

You can read more about what to do When your service is affected by a natural disaster on our website.
