ABOUT YOUR ORGANISATION

The Resilience Canopy is focused on strengthening community resilience across Australia. We operate as a charitable entity with a mission to empower communities to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and adapt to growing challenges.

We support and train communities to lead their own journey to challenge readiness and then connect them with public and private sector partners that can help implement their vision. By helping them access the right skills, connections, resources, and support, local communities have the greatest chance at withstanding and adapting to shocks (such as flood and fire) and societal stressors (such as cost of living and mental health challenges).

Our organisation is based in Victoria and operates Australia-wide. The Resilience Canopy is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. Visit the website: www.resiliencecanopy.com.au
