A State Government initiative will help home owners affected by flooding in North Queensland receive assistance for house repairs.

The North QLD Flood Register will allow flood-affected home owners to search for licensed contractors who are available to help with repairs, to make homes safe, secure and habitable.

The register is now open for licensed contractors, including licensed asbestos removalists and electrical trades, to submit their details at https://my.qbcc.qld.gov.au/s/assistance-search.

The register will be available to consumers in the next few days.

In addition, Master Electricians Australia is working with the State Government and Ergon Energy to co-ordinate electrical service support to restore connections.

Electrical contractors can register at www.masterelectricians.com.au or call 1300 889 198.
