Australian Red Cross Society

Australian Red Cross Society is a volunteerbased organisation that exists to reduce human suffering. Australian Red Cross Society operates through two operating divisions: Australian Red Cross Humanitarian Services and Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. Our work includes: Emergency services and disasters: we help build communities that are strong, resilient and able to anticipate, respond, and recover well from disasters and climate related emergencies. Migration: we help build fair, welcoming, and inclusive communities where migrants are safe and have their humanitarian needs met. Community activities and programs: we build connection and resilience through volunteering and responding to the humanitarian needs of local communities. International programs: we help build stronger, more resilient international communities with increased capacity to prepare for, anticipate, respond to and recover from crises. International Humanitarian Law: we better humanitarian outcomes for people and communities impacted by armed conflicts. Lifeblood: we increase the supply of safe and highquality blood, plasma and other biological products, bolstering the capacity to respond to emergencies, support medical treatments, and improve patient and community outcomes. First Nations Centrality: our work is informed by the voices of First Nations people, so that we may work together in the purpose of Australian Red Cross, while fostering cultural safety, equity and greater inclusion of First Nations people in our programs, volunteering and as voices of advocacy.
