In a world full of conflict, your support is needed more than ever
While at this time of year many of us are gathering with loved ones, millions of families around the world are facing the heartbreak of separation, torn apart by conflict, disaster and displacement.
Right now, mothers, fathers and children are living with unbearable pain. Many live every day not knowing if their loved ones are alive or safe. They’ve lost homes, livelihoods and hope, and their faith in humanity has been deeply tested.
With your support, Australian Red Cross can be there – ensuring highly trained teams on the ground can provide vital medical care, psychological support, and help spark moments of hope and joy even in the darkest times.
Right now, the world needs your kindness and generosity more than ever.
Your support reunites families, gives people who have lost everything the first steps towards recovery, and reminds those who need it most that they are not alone.
Your kindness changes lives
Your support helps people worldwide in their darkest times to recover, rebuild and reconnect.

How you can bring joy to someone’s world
“Being able to help people feel safer when it is dangerous is incredibly valuable.”
- JP Miller, Australian Red Cross delegate recently deployed to Gaza
“Thank you for bringing a bit of pleasure to our old lives. I look forward to the visits so much.”
- Brian, 94
“I think that when I look at the Red Cross it’s an organisation that’s impartial. It’s not looking at who people are. It’s just looking at what’s happening to them and so it’s an organisation that I think that I can trust will go in, feed hungry people, help people who are broken, and get people back into some kind of semblance of normal life.”
- Shirley Gash

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.
