Australian Red Cross is building a better society based on people helping people. We save lives and support people before and after disasters strike. We work to alleviate suffering during wars and conflict and promote the laws of war. And we work to assist our most vulnerable community members – no matter their circumstances. Funds raised through first aid and mental health go towards supporting our humanitarian goals. Relief in times of crisis, care when it's needed most, and commitment when others turn away. Red Cross is there for people in need, no matter who you are, no matter where you live. We help tens of millions of people around the world each year and care for local communities in Australia and the Asia Pacific.
