As more Ukrainians arrive in Australia, the need for resettlement services is growing. The Ukrainian community is filling that need by coordinating donations as Australians also step up to do their bit.


The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations has created a national database to collect offers of temporary accommodation, household items, clothing, and medical assistance from Australian community groups.

Those wishing to make a donation can visit Emergency Action.org.au. The Emergency Action Alliance is an umbrella group consisting of 15 NGOs, including Save the Children and Oxfam, who have come together during this time of war.
