Why work at DRA

Disaster Relief Australia is a professional disaster relief organisation with a unique culture and history. We are dedicated to the service of communities in need and to each other. We are also governed by values that place high worth on servant leadership, maturity, integrity, teamwork and determination.

As a member of the team, you become part of our nationwide tribe with the chance to give back, gain and grow in a range of ways.

Sense of purpose – We offer a unique opportunity to be part of a humanitarian effort with a unified purpose, mission and intensity similar to military service.

Part of a community – As an extension of the ‘tribe’ philosophy that exists in military and emergency services organisations, we understand the need for community cohesion and support during difficult times.

Identity – We provide an opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself. If you are a military veteran, you can rekindle a sense of belonging and mateship and feel highly valued.

Disaster Relief Australia is a one-of-a-kind organisation that is extremely well run and has the community at the forefront of its mind at all times. I highly recommend becoming part of the tribe and volunteering through Disaster Relief Australia, for anyone who wants to help and feels like they just have more to give.

One of the things I really enjoy about DRA is meeting and getting to work with fantastic fellow volunteers. DRA members come from all over Australia and have varied backgrounds…We all have one thing in common and that is a desire to help others in their hour of need. I find it immensely satisfying to walk amongst people like this.

I was drawn to volunteer with Disaster Relief Australia due to its focus on supporting veterans. After service in the Royal Australian Navy, I wanted to put my skills to use in helping Australians, especially with the recent floods in New South Wales.
