Australian Red Cross
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 help to promote respect for the laws of war, protecting humanity in times of
war and preventing the misuse of the symbol that saves lives in armed conflict –
the red cross emblem.
