How You Can Help the Bushfire Crisis

9 Jan 2020

The current bushfire crisis is devastating and our hearts are going out to the many people and wildlife who are being impacted.

Whether you’re affected directly or indirectly, we know this is a distressing time that’s bringing up feelings of sadness, frustration and helplessness. It can be difficult to know what to do, but here are some ways that you can help:

Donate one of the following organisations:
Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery
NSW Rural Fire Service
Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES)
Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities

Get involved by sharing information.

Take action by writing to your local MP.

Take care of one another and stay safe.
