Be one of the helpers
Across Australia, many are struggling to get by as they face hardships they never expected.
As the country faces an early bushfire season, our teams have been on the ground helping communities in recovery hubs and evacuation centres, and running services to reunite families who’ve been separated.
Not only is the climate crisis causing more frequent and intense disasters, but many people are also finding it more difficult to put food on the table and a roof over their heads. They urgently need your support.
Because generous people like you care, our teams can be there for those hit hardest by disaster, crisis and isolation, providing essential practical and emotional support. Because you care, we can go wherever the needs are greatest.
The simple truth is we can’t do what we do without people like you.
Together, we have the chance to make a difference. Together, we can let people who are struggling know they don’t have to cope alone. No matter what the crisis. No matter how hard the challenges.

- 33 emergency activations around the country

If you donate to an organisation classified as a ‘deductible gift recipient’ (like Australian Red Cross), you can claim a tax deduction on your tax return for that year for your donation. Donating to a deductible gift recipient will likely reduce your overall taxable income, which in turn may reduce the amount of tax you are required to pay.
You must donate at least $2 and keep proof in the form of a receipt or bank statement. When you donate to Australian Red Cross, we’ll send you a tax receipt. The more you donate, the more you may claim back. Find out more information.
Charity donations of $2 or more to Australian Red Cross may be tax deductible in Australia. Site protected by Google Invisible reCAPTCHA. © Australian Red Cross 2023. ABN 50 169 561 394
