Relief without Borders

AusRelief is more than just a charity; it is a beacon of hope and resilience, dedicated to alleviating poverty, sickness and under-development using short and long term sustainability solutions.

With the help of our generous donors and supporters, we assist thousands of people every year. We not only aid the less fortunate, but provide them with the tools and skills to aid themselves in the long term.

Our Story
2014
AusRelief was born. Recognising their own blessings, our founders Tom and Wally knew they had a responsibility to assist those less fortunate.
Without our volunteers

Our volunteers are passionate about the work we do and together we are making a real difference in Australia and around the world by alleviating poverty and hardship for those that are most vulnerable.

The executive is efficient as we are not top heavy. Our decisions are made strategically, effectively and quickly by a small and dedicated team - each, a leader in their own field and each, on a personal mission to make long-lasting changes for humanity.

2015
Operating on a grassroots level, AusRelief managed all aspects of the organisation itself. However, it soon realised that meaningful change could only be achieved through collective action. Thus, we brought together a community of like-minded professionals, who formed a team of volunteers dedicated to helping those in need.
