Giving practical support

Our commitment to supporting Australian communities in times of disaster is brought to life through our national partnership with Australian Red Cross.

Since 2019, we’ve offered free mail redirection services to thousands of Australians who have been unable to return home because of a disaster, and we’ve fundraised more than $1.9 million for Australian Red Cross by collecting donations at participating Post Offices and running other fundraising initiatives. This has supported Red Cross’ vital work, including helping communities to be better prepared for emergencies, providing comfort and care to impacted communities during a disaster and supporting their recovery. 

Together, we aim to provide more people with the resources to prepare for disasters – because we know that the more prepared you are, the quicker the recovery is.

Helping you prepare before it’s here

This Emergency Redi Week, we’re encouraging Australians to prepare for disaster before it strikes.

With our partner Australian Red Cross, we’re delivering disaster preparedness information to three million households in areas at high risk of disaster to help them protect themselves, the people they love and the things they value most.
