since people are asking, here’s a list of places you can donate to help the australian bushfires. donating literally $1 means you have done more than our prime minister. (* = can donate internationally; for the other ones you might have to google it)
- cfa (VIC firefighters)
- rfs (NSW firefighters)*
- rfbaq (QLD firefighters)
- cfs (SA firefighters)
- red cross*
- WWF NSW bushfire crisis*
- WWF koala crisis* (both WWF links are in aud so use a currency converter if you’re outside aus)
- RSPCA NSW
- here is a list from the abc (but maybe don’t donate to the salvos or vinnies bc they suck) (x)
- WIRES (x)
- port macquarrie koala hospital* (if that link doesn’t work there’s a gofundme* / you can buy something here)
- gippsland emergency relief fund
- bendigo bank bushfire disaster appeal (partnered with the salvos though)
- mallacoota fires support fund gofundme*
- cudgewa gofundme*
- you can find emergency accommodation or can offer your house on the NSW / VIC airbnb website
i’ll keep it updated as i find more
