The New South Wales SES has conducted 27 rescues in flood-affected areas in the state's north.
The SES has responded to over 115 incidents in the past 24 hours as heavy rainfall doused the Northern Rivers region.
The rainfall totals for Tuesday are not expected to be as high as those experienced on Monday.
However, the SES is warning the flood risk is not over.
Flood rescue specialists have been deployed to the area in case flooding risks re-intensify.
