Emergency & Disaster Relief

When natural disasters unfold, RRT steps in to serve emergency services with quality food and refreshments, and provide tangible support to those affected.

Help us make a difference

Australia is renowned for natural disasters, most notably bushfires, droughts, floods and cyclones. When these catastrophes take place, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) is equipped to step in at a moment’s notice, and support emergency services with quality food and refreshments, and provide tangible support to those affected.

Beneath our distinctive RRT tents, people from all walks of life seek shelter and refreshment in times of crisis. Whatever the crisis may be, RRT is humbled to support frontline heroes as they work tirelessly to overcome the situation at hand, and those who have been directly impacted by the disaster.

In recent times, Australia’s land has been plagued by unprecedented natural disasters, leading RRT to respond with timely support for emergency services, and to bring hope to those who have been left devastated.

Fire Relief

Australia’s 2019/2020 bushfire season was unprecedented, leaving many families without homes, and wildlife without habitats. RRT volunteers worked hard to bring a little light and joy during this challenging time, and launched two new initiatives, Rapid Water Systems and Operation Fire Relief to support firefighting efforts and families who lost everything.

Drought Relief

Farmers across Australia have been devastated by what has been coined Australia’s worst drought in living memory. RRT jumped into action to support farmers across the nation with three initiatives, Operation Drought Relief, Farmers Community Connect, and Operation Christmas Dinner.

Global Pandemic Support

In the recent times of global uncertainty, RRT has stepped in to support people in self-isolation for COVID-19, or those impacted financially with RRT Food Boxes.
