Demand for the RedR Australia roster increased in FY22, seeing more requests from donors including the Australian Government’s Australia Assists program, the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and international NGOs, which contributed to the increased output in both roster recruitment and partner deployment recruitment.
