Support regional kids and families affected by bushfires
The continuing bushfires have devastated many communities in regional Australia, some of which were already struggling with the insidious and enduring effects of the drought.
Royal Far West is intensely committed to rural, regional and remote children and families who are impacted by these events and we are working hard right now to direct our services in the most effective way, to support children and carers at risk of mental health challenges and trauma-related disorders.

Three ways you can help
Donate
Every dollar goes to to support country children. We’re funded by a combination of your donations, investments, government grants and corporate partnerships. Anything you give is enormously appreciated. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Fundraise
Sausage sizzles, fun runs, marathon bike rides – anyone can help out with a little imagination and inspiration. Find out how you can get involved.
Volunteer
Without volunteers, we couldn’t function. Many volunteers are long-term regulars, others offer their skills for a specific event. Even if you only have a few hours to spare, we’d love to have you!
