The BHP Foundation will donate AU$2M to the Australian Red Cross to support emergency relief efforts to bushfire impacted regions around Australia.

The loss of lives and livelihoods from the bushfires is tragic. Fires have burnt through 5.8 million hectares across Australia, destroyed more than 1,700 homes, regional communities have evacuated and some people are missing. The continuing impact on people, communities and their land and livelihood is devastating and widespread across Australia.

The Foundation's donation will help the Australian Red Cross provide immediate support through evacuation centres, psychological first aid and emergency assistance including cash grants to people who have lost homes as well as support longer-term recovery programs in fire-affected communities.

Donate to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire appeal.
