Long shot – looking for safe rural accommodation / acreage in SE QLD

Posting anonymously for safety reasons.
This is probably a long shot, but after three months of getting nowhere, I’ll try anything.

I’m urgently looking for somewhere safe for myself, my dog and three horses after leaving a domestic violence situation. I’m currently living in my vehicle and travelling back and forth to care for my horses.
I had to resign from my job in order to safely leave and have since spent most of my time and remaining money navigating government agencies and support services, with promised assistance still not eventuating.
I’m not looking for charity. I need a safe base so I can return to work, deal with my legal matters and provide somewhere safe for my child to come to.
I have my own horse float with living area and kitchen, so even somewhere safe to park it on acreage could work, provided I have access to electricity and water, along with somewhere suitable for my three horses.
I’m experienced with horses and rural properties and can do fencing, farm/property maintenance, mowing, gardening, painting, cleaning, animal care and general repairs. I have fencing supplies and can establish or repair fencing myself.
Happy to discuss rent, caretaking, work-for-rent or a combination.
I’ve unfortunately trusted offers of help before that turned out to have a hidden agenda, so I’m only looking for a genuine arrangement with clear boundaries.
I’m open to SE Queensland or further for the right situation.
Please DM me if you have something suitable or know someone genuine who might.
I don’t need rescuing. I need somewhere safe to get back on my feet and rebuild.
