Australian Emergency Fund

Turn local experience into local resilience

When catastrophic floods or bushfires strike in Australia, nobody knows what’s best for their community more than the people who live there.

Your donation today will support Australian Red Cross volunteers like Kerry. In the wake of Cyclone Jasper, she connected the local community with vital services while providing a place of safety and support at the recovery centre – offering much-needed hope and care to those affected by the disaster.

You can help locals like Kerry in QLD respond to an emergency.

Together we can be there for people during and after disasters and emergencies across Australia.
