When disaster strikes, it's the quiet work done long before an emergency that often makes the biggest difference.
Nominations are now open for the 2026 ACT Resilient Australia Awards, giving Canberrans the opportunity to recognise the individuals, organisations and projects that help keep our community safer, stronger and better prepared.
Managed by the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience, the Resilient Australia Awards feature a range of categories, including community, schools, government, business, local government, mental health and wellbeing, and photography.
Winners from each state and territory progress to consideration for the national awards.
Individuals and groups working on projects related to risk reduction, preparedness, response, recovery or community‑level resilience are strongly encouraged to apply.
