Help for people impacted by Tropical Cyclone Narelle

Department of Communities (Communities) is supporting impacted residents and families as they clean up and recover from Tropical Cyclone Narelle.

"Communities has partnered with GIVIT, a national non-for-profit, to manage donations of goods, services and funds in parts of the state,” Executive Director Emergency Relief and Support, Matt McNally said.

“Public donations and corporate support received by GIVIT increase options for impacted people to replace things damaged or lost during the emergency” he added.

GIVIT is working with services on the ground in Exmouth and surrounds to assess community needs and register them through the Western Australian Disasters Appeal on GIVIT.org.au.

GIVIT works directly with councils, outreach teams, charities and community groups to identify exactly what’s needed to make sure people get what they need, when they need it.

GIVIT is free, private and easy to use and can provide critical and immediate support to cyclone impacted communities.

Donations include grocery and fuel vouchers as well as furniture, white goods and household essentials. Local charities or frontline services in need of donated goods and services can register for free at GIVIT.org.au/need-help/organisations to access thousands of donations offered by generous Australians and corporates.

Members of the public can donate money or essential goods and services to impacted communities through the GIVIT Western Australia Disasters Appeal with 100% of publicly donated funds received by GIVIT used to purchase exactly what’s needed.

Impacted people can visit GIVIT.org.au/wa-disasters to find out what assistance is available.

Where possible, GIVIT uses donated funds to purchase goods from local providers to support the economic recovery of impacted regions.
