Over the past few weeks, I have seen our community band together from men escorting ducklings across the road, a gentleman at Bribie Island handing out toilet paper, people making survival packs and engaging with their neighbours, people supplying meals to others to many more acts of kindness and support.

I am not only proud to serve this community as a Queensland Police Service officer, but to also live here and be apart of this community.

Keep up the great work everyone, support each other, be compassionate, understanding and stay safe.

We encourage you to take notice of the information being provided by Queensland Health, and to continue practicing social distancing and good hygiene habits.

We would also like to provide you with some lines of support from other government and non-government agencies.

Continue to look out for each other, be compassionate and patient and we will get through this together.
