Australia for UNHCR is the UN Refugee Agency’s national partner in Australia, raising funds and awareness to support displaced people across the globe.
Australia for UNHCR unites caring Australians – individuals, community groups and businesses – to support people fleeing conflict, disaster and persecution. We advocate and fundraise for refugee protection, emergency aid and long-term support and solutions, helping UNHCR reach millions of displaced people each year.
Anyone can become a refugee. It takes just one war, one disaster, one crisis.
When a family’s world is turned upside down, they need immediate aid. By donating every four weeks, you ensure that emergency teams are ready to respond at a moment’s notice.
Refugees count on UNHCR to stay and deliver. You can support this vital work – sign up now to become a regular donor and begin changing lives.
UNHCR works in more than 130 countries around the world. We are often first in and last out in a refugee crisis, providing vulnerable families with shelter, water and other survival essentials. Your gift to Australia for UNHCR can provide life-saving aid for people in their time of greatest need.
