Help us put up to $17,000 towards saving lives in Ukraine and helping the community of Lismore to rebuild

We're already putting $7,000 up for Ukraine and $7,000 for Lismore. We also had another $3,000 to donate and you chose which cause it would go to.

Ukraine — children underground in temporary hospitals

Children on dialysis in underground temporary hospitals in Ukraine

Right now hundreds of thousands need food, water, shelter, health and hospital support. Children on dialysis are hiding from bombs, in underground temporary hospital wards.

We donated at least $7,000 of your private fees towards urgent humanitarian relief in Ukraine.

You can also make your own donation directly to the UN Ukraine Crisis Relief fund:

Ukrainian children affected by the crisis

In the meantime, we reached out to Ukrainian GPs in Australia who are connected to the crisis in Ukraine to offer support and hoped to provide more help.

Lismore — the crisis continues

Lismore floods 2022

At the time, "mud armies" of volunteers were going to people's homes to clear the wreckage. Multiple GP practices had been destroyed; many in the community couldn't access basic care, scripts, or their entire records.

We reached out to GPs in Lismore to offer infrastructure and support, while Lismore Council, SES and Fire NSW continued to support the clean-up and rescue efforts.

We donated at least $7,000 of your private gap fees to Lismore to provide urgently needed support.

You can still donate to future flood relief through Lismore City Council's disaster recovery programs.

"Thank you for being a part of our community and for supporting these incredible projects."
