Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes, with many of them losing them altogether. Homes have been destroyed, thousands of people are stranded or in limbo and at least nine people have died.
Sydney University have estimated more than 480 million animals have died in Australia since September, as a result of the bushfires.
If youâd like to help, hereâs how you can do it:
Donations to the NSW Rural Fire Service directly benefit the volunteer firefighters on the frontline. To help you can donate here.
You can also donate to the young families of Geoffrey Keaton and Andrew OâDwyer, who were killed during the Green Wattle Creek fire, and Samuel McPaul, who was killed at the Green Valley fireground, here.
To help the NSW wildlife victims, you can donate to the NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) here.
Port Macquarie Koala Hospital
More than 2000 koalas are feared to have perished in NSW since September.
The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital have raised more than $2 million for the wildlife affected in that area, with the initial aim of using the money to distribute automatic drinking stations in the burnt areas to help in koala and wildlife survival.
The organisation are now sharing the funds with other wildlife organisations in the fire affected regions across NSW. You can donate here.
There are multiple organisations helping those who have been affected. Most of these people have lost everything, including their homes, and donations would help to rebuild their lives with food, clothing, furniture, other essentials, and funds to pay bills.
Here are a few places you can donate:
Vinnieâs Bushfire Appeal
All of those sites have great information on how your donations can help the people in need.
