Humanitarian Specialists | Join our Roster

**About Us**

RedR Australia is a leading international humanitarian response agency that selects, trains and deploys technical specialists throughout the disaster cycle around the world. We are a member of the UN Standby Partnership (UNSBP) and have deployment agreements with 15 United Nations agencies or entities, as well as with other front line relief agencies and local governments.

During a humanitarian crisis, we provide additional support to response efforts through deployments of technical specialists. We maintain a humanitarian roster of more than 1000 technical experts across a range of skill areas.
