The Queensland Resilient Australia Awards are managed by the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience and delivered in partnership with the Queensland Government’s Get Ready Queensland program and Suncorp.
Each year the awards celebrate community-focused resilience building and the people making a difference by mitigating the impacts of disasters.
Minister for Disaster Recovery Ann Leahy said the Crisafulli Government was proud to celebrate the ingenuity and spirit of so many who had helped to create a stronger, safer and more resilient Queensland.
“Each initiative recognised has improved the lives of others, and in doing so is telling an important story about selflessness and growth,” Minister Leahy said.
