The bushfires cutting through communities and the environment across Australia has been shocking and tragic.
The bravery of our volunteer fire fighters, emergency services and the military has been inspiring and the kindness of individuals and community groups incredibly heart-warming.
Since the start of the bushfire season Qantas have transported thousands of fire fighters and tonnes of equipment around the country and they will continue to do this for as long as it’s needed.
Qantas have also donated $1 million cash to the Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund and are now making it easy for Qantas and Jetstar customers to donate as well.
To support Australia’s communities affected by the devastating bushfires, Procurement Australasia encourages our members to join us in Qantas’ $1m donation to the Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund. Red Cross provides resources and personnel to evacuation and recovery centres across Australia, and the provision of emergency grants to those who have lost homes.
Qantas Frequent Flyers can redeem Qantas Points to support communities affected by the devastating bushfires, with Australian Red Cross as a charity redemption partner on the Rewards Store^.
Most destinations in Australia remain safe and continue to welcome visitors. It is more important than ever to support Australian tourism providers, whether in unaffected regions or those that will recover from these bushfires in the months and years to come. The best way to support Australia, Australian communities, and the tourism sector is to keep visiting.
All international airports in Australia are currently operating as normal. We encourage all travellers visiting Australia to seek the most up-to-date information for their planned itinerary prior to departure, and remain informed about changing conditions while in Australia.
