You can get help quickly to where it’s needed most.
Whatever the crisis, wherever it happens, a Red Cross team is on the scene to help.
Last year, someone in Australia needed our help every 90 seconds.
Here’s what our donors made possible:
324,000+
people supported before, during and after disasters
1,639
staff helped and supported people across 33 emergency activations
4 million+
people accessed information from emergency preparedness campaigns
The Australian Red Cross Disaster Response and Recovery fund is set up year-round to support Australians before, during and after a disaster.
From the storms and catastrophic fire conditions in Victoria to flooding in Queensland, your donation to the Disaster Response and Recovery Fund means Red Cross can be there to help people during disasters and other emergencies throughout Australia.
Right now
Our teams are on the ground supporting people impacted by disasters.
Australian Red Cross continues to work in evacuation and recovery centres across the country.
Our volunteers are providing psychosocial support to people in Evacuation Centres and via personal support, information, and referrals in community recovery hubs.
We are working hard to register and reunite loved ones through our Register.Find.Reunite. service.
Australian Red Cross has commenced planning for the long and challenging Recovery journey that many community members are now facing.
