About RedR Australia
RedR Australia is a leading international humanitarian response agency that selects, trains and deploys technical specialists.
RedR Australia was founded with a strong vision—to deploy humanitarian experts during international crises and help alleviate suffering. Today, RedR Australia provides skilled people and training to support communities around the world affected by crisis conflict.
RedR Australia maintains a roster of more than 1,230 technical specialists across a range of skill profiles including disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, recovery and stabilisation activities in times of need.
With the world facing more frequent and severe crises, we also run training courses to help grow a new generation of experts who can effectively respond in emergencies.
With more than 30 years’ experience in sourcing high-quality talent for the humanitarian and development sectors, RedR Australia is an expert in swift and effective recruitment. We provide tailored recruitment services to support organisations working in the humanitarian, development, disaster resilience and peacebuilding sectors.
RedR Australia is a Standby Partner to 16 United Nations agencies or entities, as well as other front line relief agencies and local governments. During a humanitarian crisis, a global network of Standby Partner organisations provides additional support to UN response efforts. RedR Australia is the only Standby Partner to the UN in the southern hemisphere.
Our specialists also help to share capacity and grow resilience in the region through our disaster preparedness training activities and strategic collaboration with National Disaster Management Offices throughout the Asia Pacific.
