The Crisafulli Government has donated $400,000 to assist charitable organisations in supporting vulnerable Queenslanders during the festive season.
Four key charities – The Smith Family, The Salvation Army, UnitingCare Community, and St Vincent de Paul Society – will each receive $100,000 to support their respective Christmas appeals.

The Premier also acknowledged the dedication of charity staff and volunteers.
“We continue to support these hardworking charities in delivering the vital help needed and thank everyone giving their time and effort to care for others this Christmas.”
The donation reflects the government's commitment to helping Queenslanders in need during the holiday period.
