About Red Cross 

Australian Red Cross is building a better society based on people helping people. 

We are a movement of people, we help Australians act for humanity. Each in our own way, and together with communities and partners, we give each action a far greater impact.  

When disasters strike, we’re on the ground and on the phones. We help people find shelter, find support, and find their loved ones. 

We walk respectfully with First Nations peoples, towards a brighter and more equitable future. 

When people come to Australia seeking safety, we help them make ends meet, settle into their new communities, and search for loved ones gone missing. We advocate for laws that protect humanity in war. And, we stand with people for whom life has been unjust.
