Find a service centre, branch, group or Area Council
Service centres are our hub of activities in the local areas – best for contacting if you want to become a member, are one already or if you want to volunteer.
Branches and groups form the structure of our membership. Find out about branch and group activities and services in your area.
Structure and leadership
We are all about people, including the people that support us in all that we do.
Our volunteer board is voted for by members, supported by a chief executive, senior leadership team and volunteers.
Help those in crisis
Every day crises - cyclones, earthquakes and other disasters – strike with little or no warning and in a moment everything a family has is gone. Every day people affected by crisis suddenly find themselves struggling for the basic necessities of life. Your donation can help ensure that temporary shelter, clean water and emergency supplies get to those who urgently need them.
Giving regularly to where the need is greatest
By joining our community of regular donors you will be helping vulnerable people, across the street and around the world. Our regular donors make it possible for us to prepare for disasters and in times of emergency provide immediate humanitarian care to those who need it most.
