Cash donations are often the most flexible and efficient way to help, as they allow organizations to purchase exactly what is needed in the affected area.

To donate or seek assistance, contact the NSW SES via their website or social media pages, or reach out to Community Flood Response for more information on how you can contribute to the relief efforts.
