A few enquiries have been made on making contributions to help Australian bushfire victims. One very small practical help group has just come to light on fbuk. They make pouches for orphaned animals such as koalas, bats, kangaroos, wallabies.
Please also follow @MsHoliday 's urls in her response below for US and Canadian groups. My thanks go out to all of them.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I can appreciate the effort and compassion of such efforts, but it feels to me like the little dutch boy with a finger in the dyke. If the global town takes no notice of the issue, the noble compassionate efforts will be for nothing.
While we are doing this to help the Koalas, the glaciers of New Zealand are turning grey from soot. We have to start not only responding to the incident, but to its ramifications.
Thank you to all the compassionate people able to help.
Now looking ahead, how do you think billions of dead animals will affect the croc population? How will that affect human endeavors to recover?
I think we all need to start looking not only at "what do I do, the wildfire took my home", but "when I rebuild, should it even be here?" "How can I rebuild in a safer fashion to confront the future ramifications of the wildfire, like mudslides?"
The GBR is dead except for pockets and the continents on fire, "don't worry, nothing to see here"

Much of the burnt area is not home to crocodiles.
GBR?
NZ glaciers were melting and receding before the fires started but as Mr Trump has said that there is no climate change or global warming it must be those pesky New Zealanders spouting too much hot air and farting again!
Unlike many places Australia being exceedingly flat does not get many mudslides. Lots of floods, fires, droughts and dubious politicians yes.
@Trumpeter and just to hand is this conspiracy

@FrayedBear Great Barrier reef.
I am glad to hear that much of the area won't suffer a "croc bloom" due to ample food stores suddenly availible.
I was also hoping that a billion or so cane toads got cooked.
@Davesnothere "I was also hoping that a billion or so cane toads got cooked" - so would many.
An excellent thought along with the cremation of feral pigs, goats, rabbits, sparrows,dogs, cats and prickly pear.
I recently read an article of how wombats have been shepherding other species into their burrows in order to avoid their cremation.
