The Archbishop of Sydney's Anglican Aid says it will now take donations for flood relief in Queensland as well as the fires in Tasmania.

The days following the movement of ex-tropical cyclone Oswald down the Queensland coast and into Northern New South Wales has led to the worst flooding in generations in centres such as Bundaberg and Gympie in Queensland and Grafton and other centres in northern New South Wales.

Other areas such as the Lockyer Valley and the Brisbane metropolitan area have been hit again after being devastated by the floods of 2011.

Anglican Churches and schools are open to help flood victims and provide shelter.

Bundaberg's Christchurch Anglican Church and St Luke's School were accommodating some of the 5,000 people displaced.

The rector of Christchurch Cliff Greaves believes the psychological affect of the latest flooding will be worse than it was after the 2011 deluge.

"I was here for the last flood two years ago and this is a lot worse probably because it was so sudden," he told AAP.

"Many people haven't quite recovered from the floods and they're confronted again - it's much more devastating this time."

Mr Greaves said that with the city's high unemployment, young families would have even more trouble coping with losing their belongings again.

Anglican Aid was already collecting funds in the wake of the bushfires across Tasmania, one of the worst natural disasters in the state’s history.

To assist the Diocese of Tasmania in supporting affected communities, Anglican Aid has already committed $10,000 to the relief effort.

The small fishing town of Dunalley, east of Hobart, was the hardest hit, with more than half the towns buildings, including a primary school being destroyed.

One of the buildings left standing was St Martin’s Anglican Church, which has become a symbol of hope and strength for the community.
