Australian donations

All donations can be made by either credit card, cheque or bank transfer through Union Aid Abroard-APHEDA – the overseas humanitarian aid agency of the Australian Council of Trade Unions. Whichever option you choose, please follow the instructions carefully to ensure that funds are directed towards BCMF.
