Donations will go live from Tuesday, the state government said. Search “2026 Victorian Bushfire Appeal” for more information.
Bendigo Bank appeal
Bendigo Bank is stepping up to support affected communities, initiating the Victorian Bushfire Appeal in response to several devastating fires impacting multiple communities across Victoria.
The appeal is facilitated by the bank’s charitable arm, the Community Enterprise Foundation, which has extensive experience running appeals across Victoria. Donations will remain in the impacted communities to aid recovery.
