Help the Kimberley Recovery

The floods in the Kimberley have been devastating, particularly around Fitzroy Crossing. As the floodwaters reside the damage is visible. Apart form lots of infrastructure needs, people have lost everything and there is a huge clean-up to be undertaken.

Please help with the recovery by donating to the Lord Mayor's Distress Relief Fund appeal here.

Another NFP organisation that does amazing work in the Kimberley is the Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health (FISH). They are on the ground providing services in housing and health. If you do donate, please put down “Fitzroy Flood Recovery”
