Direct your donations to the Premier's Relief Fund

On 29 December 2010, the Premier of Queensland, Anna Bligh, launched a disaster relief appeal to help those affected by wide spread flooding in Queensland.

The appeal invites financial donations only. Unfortunately this appeal cannot accept donations of goods or services. People who have quality goods or items, they can donate them through Givit.org.au, a not-for-profit organisation that provides charities with access to donated goods.

The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal is a Trust Fund established to assist those who have suffered a loss due to natural disaster. All money raised by the fund will be directed to address the greatest need. The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal Fund is audited by the Queensland Auditor-General.

The Premier has announced the establishment of a Distribution Committee, a committee including representatives from the Australian Red Cross, to manage the disbursement of the donated funds. None of the appointed representatives will receive remuneration for their service, and none of the funds raised will be used to administer the fund with the costs being met by the government.

All donations of $2 or more to the Appeal by Australian residents are tax deductible. International donors should consult their relevant local authority to assess whether donations to the Appeal are tax deductible in their jurisdiction.

The Greek Tribune, urges organisations or individuals who wish to support the victims of the Queensland floods, to direct their donations to the Premier's Relief Fund.

They can do that by posting a cheque to The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal, ABN: 69 689 161 916.

Cheques should be posted to: Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal, C/O Department of the Premier and Cabinet, PO Box 15185, City East QLD 4002.
