Today we had the privilege of visiting the Harcourt BlazeAid team at their regional camp in Maldon, Victoria.
BlazeAid is a volunteer-based organisation that supports families and individuals in rural Australia following natural disasters such as fires, cyclones, droughts and floods. Their work on the ground is practical, hands-on and deeply impactful — helping communities rebuild not just fences and infrastructure, but confidence and connection.
During our visit, we had the opportunity to meet the dedicated local volunteers who generously give their time to support others. We spent time getting to know the team, hearing firsthand about the impact of the recent bushfires on the Harcourt community, and visiting a property that had been directly impacted, where we saw the volunteers hard at work supporting recovery efforts.
We are incredibly proud to have donated $10,000 on behalf of the Mitchell Services Foundation — a foundation committed to supporting meaningful causes and charities each year.
A sincere thank you to the amazing volunteers who work tirelessly to support our regional communities. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.
