Part of the Flood Wellbeing and Disaster Program 2025 grants.
Drawing on the successful implementation of the Community Carers and Responders (CCR) model implemented in Northern Rivers NSW since 2021, Safer Future in partnership with Plan C, is implementing the CCR Network across the Gympie, Maryborough, and Noosa Regional Council areas. This initiative empowers communities through comprehensive and trauma-informed disaster resilience training, resources, social connection and collaborations between local councils, emergency agencies, and community groups. By establishing a network of 75 trained, equipped, and supported volunteer CCRs, the program is designed to enhance mental health, develop disaster preparedness skills, foster social capital, and increase resilience among participants. This is being achieved through comprehensive training, collaboration with local/regional stakeholders and practical and technical support of CCRs in executing their own community resilience building projects. The project will further the knowledge and evidence base of community-led disaster management and resilience building in ways suited for replication throughout Australia.
