RBWH Indigenous Hospital Liaison Service

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Hospital Liaison assists and advocate for patients and their families/carers during their patient journey as well as their post discharge support. During admission, patients often need material assistance such as clothing, personal items and recreational materials. Their carers/escorts also require food, clothing, transport for shopping and accommodation as well as banking. We also find that many Brisbane based patients require other forms of help such as clothing, help with accommodation search, food.

Real Hope Inverell is a church with a heart for outreach and serving the community around them.
We have provided drought support in the past for farmers. Every year we host a Christmas event in Inverell along with other Inverell Churches to provide free food and entertainment for the Inverell community.
Increasingly, as the economic climate gets tougher, we are providing aid to families in need each week, including fuel and grocery vouchers and helping with funeral expenses.

Rebuild Pappinbarra

Since 2017, Rebuild Pappinbarra (consisting of mostly Heather Smith and Lisa McLeod in volunteer capacities) have been supporting our small rural community through natural disasters. In 2017 we had catastrophic bushfires, in 2018/2019 drought, at the end of 2019 we had the Black Summer bushfires and now in 2021 we have experienced the worst flooding in recorded history through our valley.

While our city based neighbours in surrounding areas have received recognition and support for what these floods have done to them, our rural community (and many others like us) are suffering from lack of exposure and understanding of our needs.

Our community is struggling with disaster after disaster, and we are seeking to bring back some positives by getting some of the things they need donated by people who are willing to contribute via Givit.
