Where crisis ends, care continues.
In conflicts around the world, the suffering doesn’t end when the gunfire stops.
Beyond the visible injuries, there are wounds no medicine can heal — grief, fear, and trauma that can last a lifetime.
In hospitals, refugee camps, and shelters, Red Cross teams help people begin to heal by offering mental health and psychosocial support — walking alongside them through their pain. We also care for our own, ensuring Red Cross aid workers have psychologist support before, during, and after deployment, so they can keep giving their best.
Here in Australia, families with loved ones in conflict zones often live in a painful limbo, waiting for news that may never come. Through our Restoring Family Links program, we work across borders and languages to help reconnect separated families, and provide emotional support while they wait.
Whether it’s a nurse in a war zone offering comfort to someone who’s lost everything, or a team member here at home helping a father search for his missing son, your donation makes sure no one has to face these darkest moments alone.
Please give today and help heal the invisible wounds, in Australia and across the globe.
Your kindness in action
Every day, your generosity helps people survive, recover and rebuild, whether they are living through conflict overseas, or starting over in Australia.

How your gift today could help
We work closely with, and render our support to local teams and colleagues, who tirelessly continue to serve their communities despite insecurity and fear for their own families, often at great personal cost. This is why our presence matters; we stand beside those who need us most.
- Sophie, Australian Red Cross specialist nurse in Juba
It is an unbelievable feeling to be back in contact with my son. We cannot thank Australian Red Cross enough. They have given me and my family a new life.
- Ali, who found his son after 11 years with the help of the global Red Cross network
When mental wounds go untreated, they affect everything: employment, relationships, even long-term health. But with the right support, people can heal. They can cope. They can live.

About your donation to Australian Red Cross
Yes, donations of gifts over $2 are tax deductible in Australia. If you receive a material benefit for your donation then it is not tax deductible: for example, if you receive points or another material benefit from your credit card provider.
You will receive a receipt in your name.
Your donation will help Australian Red Cross support the most vulnerable people in our local communities in Australia and across the Asia Pacific. Your gift will go to help wherever the needs are greatest. That could be:
- companionship for older people who are isolated and alone
- emotional and practical support to someone affected by a disaster
- emergency financial aid for a family who fled conflict overseas and is starting over
- and so much more.
Every year, in Australia, we help someone every 90 seconds. Here are some of the great things supporters like you made possible last financial year:
- support for more than 324,000 people during and after disasters in Australia
- regular phone calls or visits to more than 3,500 older isolated people
- much-needed support for more than 19,700 people from 125 countries who had been made vulnerable by migration and are now living in Australia
- 66 Australian international aid workers were deployed to help in 33 countries.
If you donate a gift 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. If you receive a material benefit for your donation then it is not tax deductible: for example, if you receive points or another material benefit from your credit card provider. 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 »
Every day, people like you are helping to make a real difference in the lives of those who are vulnerable through our regular giving program.
Our regular givers support our work by automatically donating every four weeks, either by credit card or direct debit. Their ongoing support means we can be there for people facing crisis in Australia and beyond for years to come.
We would love to help you answer any questions. Please call 1800 733 276 or email contactus@redcross.org.au. For security reasons, don't include your credit card details in your email.
