    Assistance to Samoa, Tonga and Sumatra

    In October 2009, Samoa, Tonga and the Indonesian Island of Sumatra experienced earthquakes and a tsunami.

    The Queensland Government worked with the federal government and other states to provide assistance including:

    • $2 million initial support package from the Australian government, which includes Australian medical and emergency services personnel travelling to Samoa
    • urgently needed medical supplies chartered as part of the support package
    • collecting funds to provide relief assistance.

    Donations

    The Premier launched a disaster relief appeal for the South Pacific (Samoa and Tonga) Tsunami and the Earthquake in the Indonesian Archipelago. The Queensland Government made a contribution of $500,000 to start the appeal.

    This appeal is now closed to donations.
