For more than three months, Australia has been ravaged by catastrophic fires and these have escalated to unchartered levels recently. We have already witnessed the tragic loss of lives, properties, wildlife and livelihoods with more devastation expected. Our thoughts are with all our community, particularly those that have been directly impacted by these recent events.
Here are a range of resources available to help you and communities through the recovery where needed.
