Premier John Brumby launched the appeal today and said people could donate to the fund through the Red Cross.
The death toll from the fires, which raged through several regions across the state, so far stands at 66 and hundreds of homes and community facilities have been burnt to the ground.
The state and federal governments donated $2 million apiece to the fund, in addition to the $10 million Community Recover Fund announced by the federal government.
Banks including National Australia Bank, ANZ, Commonwealth Bank and Westpac have already donated $1 million each and Wesfarmers has pledged $500,000.
Mr Brumby said an independent panel of community leaders would set criteria for directing funds raised to people, organisations and communities.
The criteria will include the degree of hardship people have experienced and the degree to which a person's livelihood and infrastructure have been affected. |
