On International Day of Charity, we recognise the important role charities play in helping Australians navigate challenging times. As the cost of living continues to rise, more individuals and families are reaching out to charities for vital support. Across the country, charities are responding, providing relief and care to those who need it most. The latest Australian Charities Report highlights: • There is one charity for every 439 Australians, offering crucial support across our communities. • Nearly 90% of extra small charities rely entirely on the dedication of volunteers to provide services to those in need. Today, we reflect on the power of human kindness and collective action to improve the lives of those in need. By lending our time, resources, and voices, we can contribute to a more compassionate and equitable society.
