The Australian Red Cross has received more than $90 million in donations to assist Australians affected by the devastating bushfires of recent months.

But the charity has admitted it will distribute less than a third of the money raised and it could take up to three years before some bushfire affected victims receive anything at all.

Nymboida resident Robert Gorringe and his partner Narelle lost everything when fires ripped through their northern NSW property last November.

“They made a lot of promises that they’re going to this, that and other, (but) I’ve received nothing, I have no idea where the money is going,” Gorringe told 7NEWS on Wednesday.

Red Cross disclosed it has so far received $95 million in donations for the bushfires, but plans to spend only about $30 million of that on immediate assistance for bushfire victims.

The charity has admitted it could “take years” to disburse the entire amount, and did not rule out the possibility of quarantining some of the funds for future natural disasters such as floods and cyclones.

The admission has angered NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance, who nearly lost his home in Batemans Bay to the fires.

“Australians have donated money now so people can get help now, not in three years,” Constance told Seven’s Chris Reason.

The minister invited charity CEOs to inspect fire damaged regions of NSW with him on the weekend.

“Sit in my car on Saturday, we’ll go and see these people and then they might have a change of heart,” he said.

Constance also took a swipe at the Salvation Army and St Vincent De Paul, saying the charities are taking too long to distribute donations.

Vinnies has collected 12.5 million nationally for its bushfire appeal, but has so far only handed out $1 million to victims, all in NSW.

“We’re doing as well we can,” said St Vincent De Paul’s CEO Jack de Groot, who agreed to accept Constance’s offer of a tour to fire ravaged properties.

“It’s not perfect but the co-ordination is going fairly well.”

Red Cross is expected to make a statement on Thursday on the controversy.

The Salvation Army has not responded to 7NEWS.com.au’s requests for comment.
