Over 850,000 hectares have been razed, three people have died and more than 100 homes have been destroyed in "unprecedented" bushfire conditions across New South Wales and Queensland.

Meanwhile, 6 million NSW residents have been bracing for the worst, as 'catastrophic' levels of fire danger grip the state.

If you're looking on in horror at the unfolding crisis — feeling helpless and far away — there's heaps of ways you can lend a hand to the frontlines and those in need.
