About the Resilient Australia Awards Program:
The Resilient Australia Awards is a nation-wide program to recognise and promote initiatives that strengthen community disaster resilience. Since 2000, the awards have showcased innovation and exemplary practice across Australia; celebrating achievements that might otherwise go unseen, and inspiring others to build greater disaster resilience in their own communities.
With the exception of multi-jurisdictional projects, submissions are judged in their state or territory, and jurisdictional winners considered for national awards.
Jurisdictional winners are considered for national awards - projects selected as national finalists will benefit from national exposure through a range of communication channels.
Entries in the 2021 awards relate to projects or initiatives commenced after 1 January 2019 or demonstrate significant outcomes or enhancements since 1 January 2019.
The Australian Government is proud to sponsor the Resilient Australia Awards in partnership with the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience and the states and territories.
