Workplace Giving is a simple, easy and tax-effective way to support refugees.
By donating a portion of your pre-tax pay to Australia for UNHCR, you can help refugees on their journey to safety while also reducing your taxable income. Companies can also choose to match their employee’s donations to double the impact and inspire more of their employees to participate.
