Natural Hazards Research Australia hosted the fourth annual Natural Hazards Research Forum at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide from 18 - 20 June 2025.
The Forum serves to be Australia’s pre-eminent meeting place for thought leadership and dialogue based on natural hazards research. It provides a physical meeting place to connect with leading research, reflect on lessons learned and discuss how innovation can support safer, more resilient and sustainable communities going forward. The Forum draws on more than two decades of funded research into natural hazards that affect community resilience and quality of life in Australia and how to best drive resilience to these hazards. In 2025, the Forum focused on going beyond transactional relationships and initiatives, to focusing on transitions and integrated solutions.
The Forum was an in-person event with a live stream component available for the plenary sessions of all three days for those who cannot attend in person. You can watch the plenary session recordings on our YouTube. The three-day program focused on how using research, science and innovation can, and is, transforming Australia’s disaster resilience and response.
