Our ultimate goal? Changing the entire system from response driven, to resilience driven. Where agencies work alongside communities to support their priorities for long-term challenge readiness, instead of reacting after each disaster.

The Resilience Canopy will be delivered side by side with communities and partners, growing to reach a target of 2000 practitioners and 500 resilient communities.

It only takes a few people to learn a skill for a whole community to benefit. We up-skill local people in community resilience building so that communities can explore their own priorities and actions

The Canopy Collective is Australia’s largest network of trained community resilience practitioners – supporting each other with wisdom.

Some individuals in our communities carry more than we can see -Financial strain, chronic illness, disability, mental distress, social isolation.

Add to this the shocks that many regions face; fires, floods, cyclones, and it becomes clear just how easily vulnerable people can be pushed into crisis.

But.. when local people are supported to take action, they are best placed to generate solutions to build connection, respect and inclusion-  making sure those at risk aren’t left to fall behind.

We’re seeking partners from everywhere in Australia to join the movement.  Whether you’re a small business, a corporate giant, a local council or a motivated community member, you can make a difference.​
