Victorian Bushfires 2009

Victorian Bushfire Appeal now closed

In February, Australians came together in an unprecedented display of support. The Appeal, which has now closed, has raised over $300 million. We join families and communities affected in thanking you for your generosity.

If you have held a fundraising event you will need to send the money to us by June 30. If you have planned an event that is yet to take place, please contact us on 1800 811 700 before proceeding.

	Community fights Gippsland blaze
	Bushfires raged through the small Victorian towns of Boolara and Mirboo North in January this year, decimating 6385 hectares of land and claiming 30 houses, 87 sheds and 10 cars.

	Alex and Simon took the opportunity to volunteer for the first time as part of Activ8, a Red Cross program designed to assist young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds.

	Charities urge Victorians to think before you drop
