Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) is a veteran-led disaster relief non-profit organisation. We unite the skills and experience of military veterans with first responders and civilian volunteers to aid disaster recovery operations around the world. We bridge the gap between returning veterans, their home communities, and much needed relief services. While disasters are our business, veterans are our passion.
What we do
DRA brings hope to communities devastated by disaster. We unite the skills and experience of military veterans, emergency responders and motivated civilians to deploy Disaster Relief Teams around Australia and the world. We help people during some of their worst days.
