Frequently Asked Questions
How do I donate items or services?
Donating money is the best way to help.
If you have items you wish to donate to the community, simply:
1. Go to GIVIT.org.au
2. Search for the location you’d like to give to
3. Check if your item/service is listed
4. List your item or donate money towards the requested item
How does GIVIT work?
GIVIT works with trusted community organisations and government recovery agencies to match donation offers to requests from our community, removing the need for organisations to physically collected, sorted, stored and ultimately disposed of if unwanted.
Donations made to GIVIT.org.au will be logged in GIVIT’s online warehouse and immediately made available to our local organisations supporting impacted people.
This significantly reduces the administrative and financial burden for organisations. It also relieves the need to redirect valuable resources away from critical response and recovery activities.
Can I donate elsewhere?
At this crucial time, it is important to not overwhelm on-the-ground charities.
Please don’t donate unsolicited goods to Council or the Recovery Hub. Donating through GIVIT ensures your generosity meets real need and supports local recovery.
Check GIVIT’s website over the coming days and weeks to see exactly what is needed.
Please only donate high quality goods. Let’s give exactly what is needed while respecting the dignity of the recipient by only giving quality donations.
Where does the money donated through GIVIT go?
100% of publicly donated money received by GIVIT will be used to purchase what’s needed by our people and communities impacted by ex-tropical cyclone Koji.
GIVIT purchases from local providers to support the local economy as it recovers, wherever possible.
