Making Resilience Accessible

We measure and certify the resilience of buildings and communities through our Resilience Ratings, which are funded by the Australian government, backed by industry and will be available for free. The FORTIS project provides free designs, specifications, handbooks and best-practice principles for resilient, sustainable housing.

Better Together

The Bushfire Building Council of Australia has expanded its expert team to address all natural hazards and sustainability. We are now called the Resilient Building Council – an independent, scientific collaboration. We believe that to protect what matters most, we must work together to empower and support household and community resilience and sustainability. Our projects are locally-led initiatives with national impact. Our expert, community, industry and government partnerships demonstrate the power of working together to solve complex problems.

Smart & Practical Free Tools

World-first digital tools that help people understand their risk and vulnerability, and provide customised actions that measurably improve property and community resilience to extreme weather and disasters. Our tools bring resilience and sustainability together, so that we can adapt buildings to reduce both the cause and impacts of climate change.

Driving Action

The Resilient Building Council creates new systems to support effective and efficient adaptation action. We advocate for an increase in resilience investment from 3% of disaster funding to 50% by 2025. Every dollar spent to reduce vulnerability before a disaster can save up to $11 in response and recovery costs. All governments, industries, agencies and communities can support an increase in resilience investment, to break the disaster cycle.
