Resilience has never been this strong
We've been granted an exclusive Australian charity licence to Ready Take Action, the world-first platform that takes disaster management to the next level. Developed in Australia with input from our organisation, it is a comprehensive community disaster resilience platform - combining mobile technology, volunteer networks, AI, and powerful planning to transform how households, farms and communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
For decades, Australia's disaster management strategy has been defined by a 'reactive approach': waiting for the tragedy to strike and then spending billions of dollars on the clean-up. Ready Take Action overturns that 'yesterday thinking' by proactively mitigating and preparing, along with guiding people through disasters and helping with recovery.
Raising the bar in disaster recovery,
taking a holistic approach
Fire Disaster
Whether it is a house fire, grass fire, or bushfire, deliberately lit or naturally occurring, fires can be an incredibly disastrous event to face.
Helping people and communities prevent and clean up after a fire is one of our core requests for assistance.
Flood Disaster
Floods can cause massive disruption to communities and individuals, and they're messy and sometimes take longer to deal with. Floods can occur as a result of various triggers, yet the devastation experienced by those affected rarely differs.
When floods strike, we're here to help clean up, repair, and recover.
Drought Disaster
Drought is no stranger to Australia. And like other disasters, droughts don't discriminate. Droughts don't just affect farmers and farming communities; they affect all of us.
As a nationally operating charity with a special affinity for farmers, we offer a range of services to support farmers and farming communities during times of need.
Fires, floods, droughts, storms, cyclones, and quakes - we're here for all Australians affected by disasters.
How do we help?
We exist to help alleviate the suffering people and communities experience after a disaster. Take a look at just some of the services we provide.
And so much more.
Standing out from others'
Because we take a holistic approach to disaster recovery, we go further to help people and communities in their time of need.
Farmhand Heroes - here for Aussie farmers
Farmers and farming communities - we've got your back.
Across Australia, farmers and farming communities are struggling with flooding and drought disasters. We know the importance of farming to the country and to each one of us living here, so we've got directly-targeted assistance available to farmers through our Farmhand Heroes program, including providing practical support and relief assistance delivered by fellow farmers who understand farming needs.
Farmhand Heroes Roadshow
Our Farmhand Heroes volunteer teams are heading across multiple states on a roadshow to meet with farmers and communities and engage with them to extend our help and support. Whether it be a result of floods in New South Wales or Queensland, or drought in Victoria or South Australia, head to one of Farmhand Heroes Roadshow stops to learn how we can help you.
