A number of Australian NGOs have committed
funds for humanitarian supplies including shelter, clean water, food, medicines
and blankets. Additionally Australian NGOs are undertaking assessment missions
to assess the existing and future humanitarian needs.
Responding Agencies are:
- Australian Red Cross
- Caritas Australia
- Oxfam Community Aid Abroad
- World Vision Australia
Given the isolated location of the islands affected the transport of goods from Australia is extremely difficult and costly therefore agencies are unable to accept gifts in kind.

Australian Foundation for Peoples of
Asia and the Pacific: 1800 007 038
World Vision Australia: 13 32 40
Oxfam Community Aid Abroad: 1800 088 110
