About Us
Join Us in Saving Lives
The Ukraine Crisis Appeal is the largest Australian tax-deductible humanitarian fundraising effort for Ukraine. Operated by volunteers, it was launched in response to russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and continues today with unwavering commitment.

-
Emergency food, water, and medical supplies
-
Shelter and support for internally displaced families
-
Ambulances and critical medical equipment
-
Trauma healing programs for war-affected children
-
Life-saving surgeries for children with brain and spinal cancer
-
Resettlement support for displaced Ukrainians arriving in Australia
Children Cannot Wait
Ukraine’s children — the most vulnerable victims of this war — are at the heart of our mission. Across the country, we’ve created safe homes and trauma centres that offer therapy, community, and even joy through summer camps and activities. We’ve also funded life-saving surgeries that give young lives a second chance.
You Can Help Rebuild Hope
This war is not over. Every dollar you give helps save lives, rebuild shattered communities, and remind Ukrainians they are not alone.
Stand with Ukraine. Donate today. Help us bring light back into the lives of those living in the shadow of Putin’s war.
