There are over 150 000 New Zealanders in Queensland, many of whom are likely to be in flood affected areas. We have received some enquiries about New Zealanders there but so far there are no reports of any injured or missing New Zealanders. We are continuing to monitor the situation and are in touch with Australian authorities.
New Zealanders in the flood affected parts of Queensland are advised to monitor local media for information about flooding and follow instructions issued by the local authorities.
