In response to the devastating flood crisis in Queensland, Australia, various activities are currently underway to ensure SCA provides as much support as possible.
As there is a drastic need for essential products including toilet paper, nappies and feminine hygiene products in the region, SCA is working with Foodbank Australia (a not-for-profit organization that collects and distributes food and grocery items to welfare agencies) to coordinate the delivery of over AUD 50,000 (cost to SCA) worth of donated stock.
The difficulty at the moment is that many of the roads are blocked and impassable. It is believed it may be at least a week before trucks are able to get through.
All SCA employees in the region are safe and accounted for and our facility at Larapinta remains unaffected by the floods. All employees have however been offered access to an Employee Assistance Program – a free, confidential counseling service.
