We experienced some technical issues involving online donations on New Year’s Eve when our website had high volumes of traffic.
A small number of people advised us of issues, including that they received incorrect tax receipts after donating.
We are very sorry this incident occurred. We believe this only relates to some people who made online donations during our New Year’s Eve donation drive. We have taken steps to ensure this is no longer happening, while we continue to understand why it happened.
If you believe you have received an incorrect tax receipt after making a donation or experienced any other issue whilst donating to Australian Red Cross during New Year’s Eve, please contact our customer care team on email at contactus@redcross.org.au or by phone at 1800-RED-CROSS (733 276).
People have generously donated to our Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund during and since the ABC’s New Year’s Eve donation drive and we are extremely grateful for this support and all of the beautiful messages of support we have been receiving.
