The Queensland government estimates the damage bill from the devstating floods will be around a $1 billion.
In that state alone, 30,000 homes are still without power. Brisbane City is calling for volunteers to join a Mud Army to help clean up.
But the disaster is far from over - with both Sydney and the Central Coast bracing for a hit.
Sydney's main water source, the Warragamba Dam is already overflowing. The Northern Rivers area of New South Wales is currently swamped - the small town of Ballina was evacuated overnight and fears are growing for dozens of people reported missing.
Deputy Mayor of Ballina, Eoin Johnston talks to Lisa Owen.
