The HLC, managed by DFAT and implemented by Tetra Tech, facilitates the timely, effective, and flexible delivery of Australia’s humanitarian assistance across the Indo-Pacific. With the largest stockpile of prepositioned humanitarian supplies in the Southern Hemisphere, HLC can respond to three simultaneous crises and support over 55,000 people.

HLC integrates cross-cutting priorities — including GEDSI, localisation, greening, innovation, and Indigenous engagement — into all operations and activities.
