Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will suspend his election campaign to visit storm victims in coastal Sydney.
After a morning event in Adelaide, Mr Shorten will divert his campaign entourage to Sydney to survey the impact of wild storms and thank emergency workers.
The opposition leader will be joined by his deputy Tanya Plibersek at the Coogee Surf Life Saving Club on Tuesday afternoon.
"There are things which are clearly more important than the day-to-day political argument," Mr Shorten told ABC radio.
While he doesn't want to get in the way of emergency service workers or the people trying to work through the damage, at times like this a leader should show solidarity with those affected, he said.
