Australian Red Cross is opening a final round of support grants for people affected by the bushfires who are suffering extreme financial hardship.
The current grant is up to $2500. It is for people who have already accessed assistance previously, and can help cover re-establishment and rebuilding costs as well as food, bills or medical costs.
Noel Clement, Red Cross Director of Australian Services, said ‘We are grateful for the generous donations of the Australian and international community – $242 million. Ninety per cent of those funds have been disbursed or spent. The remainder will go to this support, and recovery programs over the next two years.’

Australian Red Cross welcomes emergency COVID-19 package for PNG
Australian Red Cross welcomes the Australian Government’s moves to send critical medical equipment, medical staff and 8,000 vaccine doses from Australia’s domestic vaccines stocks to Papua New Guinea
A further move to request the re-allocation of one million vaccines, contracted to Australia, to our nearest neighbour is also an important sign of leadership and solidarity in their time of great need.
This immediate assistance is vital for Papua New Guinea to get on top of the current crisis, while continued long-term support is also needed to strengthen the country’s healthcare capacity to deal with COVID-19 and other diseases.
