Family of 4 severely flooded and displaced from their home for over 6 months

A couple with two children 17 and 22 were severely flooded in February/March this year and lost the whole contents of their unit. They have been displaced from their home for over six months and due to other complications repairs on their uninsured home have not even begun. The father has taken leave from work after becoming ill following the flood and is receiving ongoing treatment so their household income has been drastically reduced. With english as a second language they are having to rely heavily on their younger child to help them navigate this recovery process whilst still attending school. This experience is having an effect on their mental health and general wellbeing with so much uncertainty still ahead of them.
