We are Red Cross

We are 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.

And, we stand with people for whom life has been unjust.

Our purpose

Bringing people and communities together in times of need and building on community strengths. We do this by mobilising the power of humanity.

Our vision

Trusted as the leading humanitarian organisation, making a genuine difference in the lives of people and communities.
