Australian Journal of Emergency Management | AJEM

Since the inaugural Australian Disaster Resilience Conference was hosted in Perth in 2018, the event has seen incredible growth in participation and interest. Speakers and delegates are now drawn from all levels of government, the non-government sector, business, philanthropy, the community sector and communities. In 7 years, what began as a small and highly enthusiastic gathering of 80 people in Perth has grown to the sell-out crowd of 600 people we welcomed in Sydney.

Each year, the conference program was curated from a large number of proposed abstracts. The program’s diversity and breadth has become a drawcard for delegates and speakers alike. Details about the event can be found in this edition of the Australian Journal of Emergency Management.
