Cyclone Alfred Surfers Paradise Beach

3/05/2025 0 Comments

 

As Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches the South East Queensland coastline, the Queensland Police Service (QPS) has commenced deployments to assist with preparations and support local communities ahead of the weather system’s arrival.

Today, 176 police officers and recruits are deploying to the Gold Coast, with the State Police Operations Centre (SPOC) working closely with the district to monitor the evolving situation and determine whether additional personnel will be required in coming days.

QPS officers and staff from across the South East region, including recruits, general duties officers, specialist police, and police staff, are working alongside State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers, Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ), and other partner agencies to assist communities and enhance response capability ahead of the cyclone’s impact.

In addition to these local deployments, officers from Far North Queensland – a region with significant experience responding to severe weather events – are also providing assistance, demonstrating the collaborative spirit and operational readiness of QPS during large-scale events.


Acting Police Commissioner, Shane Chelepy APM, acknowledged the significant effort already underway and praised the cooperation between officers, staff, volunteers, and emergency services partners.

“With Tropical Cyclone Alfred still approaching, QPS has already mobilised 176 officers and recruits to assist on the Gold Coast, and we stand ready to deploy further resources as required,” Acting Commissioner Chelepy said.

“This response reflects the strength of our partnerships across the service and the community, with police, staff, SES, Marine Rescue Queensland and others all working together to ensure our communities are as prepared and supported as possible.

“I want to particularly thank our colleagues from Far North Queensland, who are no strangers to these types of events. Their willingness to step up and assist is a reminder of the incredible teamwork and resilience our service demonstrates time and again.

-small;">“Our message to the community is clear please stay informed, follow official advice, and take all necessary precautions to protect yourselves and your families.”

The QPS will continue to monitor conditions and provide further updates as required.

For the latest information and advice, visit the QPS website and follow QPS on social media.

Important things to remember during a natural disaster

  • Follow the instructions of local authorities and emergency services.
  • Tune into warnings, remembering that phone and internet services may go down so know your local radio station.
  • Locate your severe weather plan and emergency kit and evacuation kit if evacuation is a possibility.
  • If you can, put fuel in your vehicle and park it in a sheltered and/or elevated location in case you need to evacuate.
  • Check in with family, friends and neighbours.

Alerts and warnings resources

For assistance with a life-threatening situation phone Triple Zero (000) immediately.

For assistance with non-life-threatening situations — such as help with a damaged roof or storm damage — phone SES on 132 500.

Keep up to date with the latest weather advice at Queensland Warnings Summary (bom.gov.au).

2023-24 Centrelink payment summary information

7/11/2024 0 Comments

2023-24 Centrelink payment summary information has now pre-filled in ATO myTax

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay

If you’re lodging a tax return, you can see your Centrelink payment summary information in the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) myTax now.

f you get other income and payments, they should pre-fill from late July.

Using pre-filled information helps you get your tax return right and avoid having to amend and re-submit it again later. If you can, wait to lodge until late July.

If you don’t need to lodge a tax return, you might need to submit a non-lodgement advice with the ATO.

When you need to lodge

It’s easier to lodge your tax return if you wait for your income statement to be marked as tax ready and for your information to be pre-filled before you lodge.

The best time to lodge your tax return is from late July when most of your information has been pre-filled into your return. This helps you to avoid mistakes. All you need to do is check the pre-filled information is correct and add any income or other information that is missing

If you lodge before you’re tax ready, you’ll need to find, calculate and add the information about your financial situation yourself.

Your Centrelink payment information will pre-fill in ATO’s myTax by late-July. If you got other payments from us that don’t show on your Centrelink payment summary, for example an emergency payment, you need to add these yourself.

You should check all your information is right before you lodge your tax return, otherwise you may have to amend your tax return later and lodge it again.

The information you provide about your income, and any dependents you have, helps when you do your tax return.

It can help with any of the following:

  • the ATO calculate the amount of Medicare levy you need to pay, and if you need to pay a Medicare Levy Surcharge
  • work out if you had enough tax deducted or withheld from your income and any government payments, including Centrelink
  • balance your Family Tax Benefit (FTB) and Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to make sure you got the right amount
  • calculate and confirm your child support assessment.

Each year is different so your outcome may change each time. Getting a tax refund, FTB or CCS top up, or family supplement payment can change depending on your family’s income and circumstances.

To lodge your tax return online, you’ll need to link the ATO to your myGov account. You can set this up any time.

Follow the instructions on the myGov website to create and use a myGov account.

If you need help to do your tax, find out how the ATO can help and support you to lodge your tax return on their website.

When you don’t need to lodge

If you don’t need to lodge a tax return you need to tell the ATO. If you got CCS, you’ll need to confirm your income with us too. You need to do this even if you had no income or you’ve already told the ATO. This is so we can balance your CCS. You can do this in your Centrelink online account linked to myGov or Express Plus Centrelink app.

How to protect yourself online at tax time

Scams and identity threats often increase during tax time.

When you’re doing your tax and waiting for your outcome, make sure you’re only dealing with genuine websites. To safely access your myGov account and linked services, use the official myGov app or enter my.gov.au into your browser to sign in.

Be wary of emails, phone calls, texts and social media messages claiming to be from the ATO, myGov or another government department. If in doubt, don’t respond.

Find out how to know if it's a scam and what to do if you’re affected. There are also a number of ways to protect your personal information and stay safe online.

Annual Child Disability Assistance Payments for carers start 3 July 2024

6/20/2024 0 Comments

 

Services Australia Will pay eligible carers the Child Disability Assistance Payment between 3 July and 2 August 2024.

You’ll get Child Disability Assistance Payment if you get Carer Allowance for a child younger than 16 for a period that includes 1 July 2024.

You don’t need to do anything to get this payment. If you’re eligible, we’ll pay it straight into your bank account between 3 July and 2 August 2024.

To get this payment, you need to be getting Carer Allowance for a child younger than 16 for a period that includes 1 July.

If you get Carer Allowance for a person between 16 and 18 years old who has a terminal illness you’ll get this payment.

You can’t get Child Disability Assistance Payment if you only have a Carer Allowance Health Care Card.

You can get up to $1,000 each year for each child who qualifies you for Carer Allowance.

If you’re getting Carer Allowance, you can get this payment for each eligible child. For example, if you get Carer Allowance for 2 children, you’ll get 2 payments.

You don’t need to claim for Child Disability Assistance Payment. If you’re eligible, we’ll pay it straight into your bank account.

If you haven’t got Child Disability Assistance Payment by early August and you think you’re eligible, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to myGov.
  2. Select Payments and claims, followed by Manage payments and My payments and check to see if we’ve paid you.
  3. Check the bank account details you told us are correct.
