Participants will engage in small group work and practical activities to identify the levers they can inuence — regardless of their rank or role — and leave with tangible strategies to apply in their own teams and agencies. This is a session for people who are ready to move beyond conversation and into courageous, informed, and sustained action — to lead change, not wait for it. Friday 29 August Workshop | Thinking Systemically for Disaster Resilience What can the toilet paper shortages that took place in the early days of the COVID pandemic teach us about understanding systemic disaster risk and enabling transformation? Join us as we delve into the mindsets, structures and patterns that are driving hazards to become disasters that are more frequent, severe, compounding and cascading. While some climate change is already locked in, radical transformation in our linked governance and environmental systems can indeed create pathways to resilience. Participants will learn how to use systems thinking to not only understand the challenges we face but, critically, to identify leverage points for transforming our systems for the better. Presentations from experienced policy makers and practitioners will set the context for the importance of understanding systemic disaster risk and systems. Participants will then engage in a workshop run by Dr Adriana Keating and Dr Zoë D’Arcy from the Monash Sustainable Development Institute, and Paul Ryan from the Australian Resilience Centre. This professional development session is based on systems thinking models that have been successfully used worldwide to ignite transformative change and delivered by experienced practitioners. Together, we’ll pull apart the systems generating increasingly volatile and complex disasters, and collectively imagine radical transformations for resilience.

During this professional development opportunity, you will see presentations from our Emergency Service Organisations and Government from across Australia along with some of the major vendors of location technologies. Wewill hear about the latest applications and tools that drive data driven decision making, trends and common national scale directions and most important we will focus on what the future holds in an ever-increasing need for Geospatial in modern digital solutions. This program is coordinated by the Emergency Management Spatial Information Network Australia (EMSINA). Workshop | A seat at the table: Exploring models for genuine community participation in recovery decision-making This half-day workshop invites the community sector, local government, state agencies and people with lived experience to collectively explore models and solutions for genuine community participation in recovery decision-making and potential barriers to implementation. Participants will: • Develop a deeper understanding of why community participation matters. • Hear from community members and state and local government representatives about their recovery experiences and views on best practice - where has it worked and not worked. • Explore the participation challenges experienced by community members and state and local governments. • Be invited to share experiences safely in a future-focused environment. • Work as groups to map out plausible models and approaches. The workshop format will include some panel style guest speakers and facilitated opportunities for discussion, learning and ideation to consider new ways.

AFAC25 Exhibition Visitor GuideCorrect as of 22 AugWorkshop | Resilient Futures: Strengthening strategies for a climate-ready world The Transformative Scenario Resources are a suite of professionally developed online modules and workbooks designed to help organisations stress-test their plans and ensure continued and eective service delivery in an increasingly climate-challenged world. While natural disasters are a clear and immediate impact of climate change, the full challenge extends beyond extreme weather events. Human factors and modern lifestyle choices are amplifying disaster risks, aecting not only how we work but also how communities experience and recover from disasters. This workshop introduces the Transformative Scenario Planning Process - an explorative, adaptable method that enables organisations to anticipate, adapt to, and even shape an uncertain future.Participants will engage with the resources, applying them to their own strategic plans, or use the DFES or AFAC Strategic Directions as a working example. With real-world relevance to events such as Fitzroy River oods of 2023 and Perth Hills Fires, this process equips decision-makers with the tools to expose hidden assumptions, think beyond day-to-day operations, and foster rapid, eective adaptation in times of crises. Join us to stress-test strategies and drive meaningful action in a climate-challenged world. Hosted By: Field Trip | Sharing Learnings for Meaningful Collaborations with First Nations Australians - Bushre Centre of Excellence This full-day workshop will bring together like-minded practitioners aiming to develop cultural competency and culturally safe practices to enhance working relationships with First Nations Australians in the emergency management sector. In small, facilitated groups, participants will share their knowledge and experiences in cross-cultural collaborations, contextualised with the learnings from the DFES Cultural Fire Program. The workshop will take place at the WA Bushre Centre of Excellence - a rst-of-its-kind facility in the Shire of Murray, located approximately one hour south of Perth. The Centre is a meaningful setting for these important discussions - strong relationships with the Bindjareb Nyungar people (local Traditional Custodians) shaped development of the facility, its services and programs.
