Supporting Operation Drought Relief

At Quality Air we are committed to helping the community as much as possible in times of need. Recently we have made donations to the Rapid Relief Team for their Operation Drought Relief.

This initiative is to assist the drought stricken farmers across New South Wales. The funds raised through the RRT will be used as follows:

Hay for Livestock

  • Which feeds over 1,000 cows or 20,000 sheep for 23 weeks
• Valued at $685,200
• The convoy or hay will be donated by RRT to over 200 drought stricken farmers in 5 different locales

Food for Farmers Families
