About GERF.

Since 1978, the Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund (GERF) has funded emergency resources like food and shelter for Gippslanders impacted by natural disaster.

Our region’s landscape is beautiful, but volatile — which is why the dedicated volunteers at GERF manage a (really) rainy day fund, ready for helping neighbours in need.

Helping
Gippsland
since 1978.

We acknowledge Gippsland’s traditional owners as the original custodians of Gippsland’s land and waters and pay our respect to their elders past and present.

GERF works closely with local government in Bass Coast, Baw Baw, East Gippsland, Latrobe City, South Gippsland and Wellington to deliver a prompt response to Gipplanders impacted by natural disaster. This website and our technology platform has been funded by Bushfire Recovery Victoria’s Community Service Organisations grant program.
