With the unfolding horror of Australia bushfire and heartbreaking footages of the catastrophe that is happening right now, wherever you are, you can help save Australia. Lives have been lost, homes and business have been destroyed and thousands of people are stranded as fires burn in parts of Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia.

We ask all Australians to put aside political fight just for a while and unite as one. Let’s step up with compassion, turn your rage into solid actions to help save what is left of our people, animals and land.

We ask all our friends overseas if you have ever visited and fallen in love with the beautiful and peaceful country Australia is; if you have lived here once upon a time and called Australia home; if you are dreaming of one-day stepping foot on this spectacular continent rich in history, culture, biodiversity and stunning landscapes – we urge you to help from afar, to donate & help save the land Down Under.

Here are some official websites where you can make a direct contribution. We encourage monetary donations as the needs of first responders and victims are great and varied and it’s the services and charities on the frontline who are best placed to know what is needed and where.

Horrific unrelenting fires continue to decimate NSW during one of the worst droughts in history. During the catastrophic fires, lives have been lost, hundreds of homes have been lost, over 4 million hectares of land have been destroyed and dozens of fires are still burning. We need urgent assistance to help with these unprecedented emergencies. To help rescue wildlife please generously today. Donate here: https://www.wires.org.au/donate/emergency-fund

Adopt A Koala

Our Aussie icons are losing their homes & their lives. Bushfires are raging through critical koala habitat and too many have already perished. Many others will have been left homeless and likely suffering from smoke inhalation or burns. Right now, they urgently need help and once the fires clear, we’ll need to restore what has been lost.
