How to help regional businesses during drought
Find out what you can do to support regional businesses and communities during tough times.
Buy from local small businesses
Buying from locally owned and run businesses sends support directly to people in regional communities. When doing your shopping, think about what you can get locally.
Plan a visit or holiday
If you're planning a weekend break or a road trip, consider visiting or staying in the bush. You can see different towns and sights in the area, and support local businesses along the way.
Donate directly using the GIVIT website
