When violence erupts and disaster strikes, your support allows UNHCR to go straight into action. UNHCR is often first in and last out in a refugee crisis, and is able to have staff and supplies on the ground within 72 hours.
We bring you stories from refugees and displaced people fleeing conflict and disaster, as well as personal accounts from Australian donors, fundraisers and field workers.
Australia for UNHCR is the UN Refugee Agency’s national partner in Australia, raising funds and awareness to support displaced people across the globe. Nobody chooses to be a refugee, but we can all choose to stand with refugees in their time of need.
A donation to Australia for UNHCR will bring life-changing assistance to people fleeing conflict, disaster or persecution. Your regular and one-off gifts help displaced people on their journey to safety.
Help a refugee family begin rebuilding their home after crisis
Give a meaningful gift to someone you love — and help change the life of refugees.
When families are forced to flee conflict or disaster, their homes are often damaged, looted or destroyed. Even when it becomes safe to return, families may come back to nothing. Your gift helps provide a home restarter kit, giving refugee families essential household items to help them begin rebuilding their lives with dignity.

How this gift helps
Home restarter kits support families who are returning to damaged homes or resettling after displacement. These practical items help restore basic living conditions and a sense of normalcy.
“The most important items I brought with me were my hot storage pot and a large milk pot — essential for carrying and preserving my family’s food during the long journey from Chad to Farchana.”
With your $100 gift, you can help to:
A stove, pots and cutlery so families can cook their own meals
Essential household items that support daily living
Practical supplies that restore dignity and stability after displacement
Returning home is an emotional milestone — but without basic household items, recovery is extremely difficult. Home restarter kits help families take the first steps toward stability, comfort and independence after crisis.
