Our Mission
About Australian Red Cross
Australian Red Cross is a national leader in disaster preparedness, response and recovery. For more than a century, they’ve walked alongside people and communities facing crises of all kinds.
Climate change is driving more severe, and more frequent disasters. Public interest in major disasters is often at the peak during the onset of the event, but interest and support can wane relatively quickly.
Individuals and communities directly affected by disasters still face significant challenges for months, years and even decades later.
Australian Red Cross works with partners to ensure long-term support in disaster-affected communities.
Working Together for Australia
As the official hygiene partner of Australian Red Cross, Pine O Cleen is supporting the clean-up of communities through the ‘Cleen Up Program.’ Our partnership supports through financial aid and product donations to help individuals, communities, and volunteers after disaster-strikes and during recovery.
The ‘Cleen Up Program’ helps by:
Supporting nearly 1,7001 Australian Red Cross Emergency staff and volunteers
Sending cleaning and hygiene products directly to communities to help minimise the impacts of flooding on homes and community spaces
A total donation of up to $300,000 over three years of our partnership
Disasters take an emotional, psychological, financial, and economic toll onpeople and communities. See how community members and recovery officers impacted by disasters were supportedin their recovery journey by our partnership and the work of Australian Red Cross.
Body - Fleur and her husband, Ron, had not long moved to the tiny town of Dallarnil in Queensland before it was suddenly struck by successive floods in 2022. Their home renovation project had only just got underway when tsunami-like floodwaters inundated the town, destroying many of their possessions and leaving them without shelter.
Australian Red Cross directed services and funds after emergency services left the area and remain in contact with the pair to ensure they have the resources and support needed to continue through recovery.
Mark is a garlic farmer from Bungawalbin and was rescued in the 2022 floods. He contacted Australian Red Cross wanting to donate reconditioned pushbikes to flood impacted people. He didn’t mention at the time that he was also flood impacted.
Australian Red Cross supported Mark with ongoing recovery assistance to help manage his business and the ongoing personal impacts of the floods.
