Help finds you faster when a whole community is behind it.

The Freshy Helpline is a simple, transparent way for Australians to raise money for medical bills, disaster recovery, schools, pets and everyday emergencies, and for neighbours to chip in.

Every fundraiser reviewed by our team 100% goes to the organiser Melbourne owned & run

✨ Just launched

The Freshy Helpline is brand new — you'd be one of the first Australians to raise money here. Every fundraiser is reviewed personally by our team, and 100% of what's raised goes straight to the organiser.

Start the first fundraiser

Pick a category to see who needs a hand right now

Every fundraiser on The Freshy Helpline sits inside one of these categories. Tap one to filter the fundraisers below — same as the live category grid on the site.

What a fundraiser page looks like

We're brand new, so there's nothing live yet — these are examples of how your fundraiser will appear once it's approved, with a live progress bar and category tag.

Three steps, no fine print

Starting a fundraiser takes about five minutes. Here's the whole process.

Tell your story

Pick a category, set a goal and explain what happened and who it helps. Add a photo if you have one.

We review & publish

Our team checks every submission — usually within one business day — then it goes live on the site.

Share & receive support

Share your link anywhere. Donations and progress update in real time on your fundraiser page.

One platform, every corner of Australia

The Freshy Helpline is run out of Melbourne, but fundraisers can come from anywhere — the city, the coast, the outback or a country town.

Melbourne, our home base

The Freshy Helpline is run out of Melbourne — but every fundraiser here can reach the whole country.

Coastal towns need a hand too

Storm damage, flood recovery and rebuilding along the coast — support doesn't stop at the city limits.

The outback isn't forgotten

Drought, bushfire recovery and rural communities matter just as much as the big cities.

Regional main streets, close-knit communities

Small towns, local schools and community groups are just as welcome here as anyone in the city.
