As many would-be aware in 2019 Townsville was devastated by an unprecedented flood event. Whilst this caused significant devastation to the Townsville community it provided a unique opportunity of inter-agency collaboration, particularly between the ADF and Emergency Services. 

Melissa is an Advanced Care Paramedic with Queensland Ambulance Service and worked closely with the ADF throughout the flood disaster, ultimately helping her community overcome this complex disaster. Melissa shares her experiences and perspective of working closely with the ADF to adapt and overcome the challenges associated with the event whilst many frontline workers also endured destruction and hardship in their community.
