Join us to find out about the new Business Beyond Disasters program and the valuable benefits it offers to businesses like yours.

This free online learning program has been designed to strengthen business resilience. The information session will cover everything you need to know about Business Beyond Disasters – why it’s important, how it works and when you can get started.

This is a great chance to connect with your local business community over light refreshments to hear about this new approach for business resilience. Representatives from key agencies and emergency services will be there, as will the Reconstruction Authority to share updates on adaptation planning.

About the Business Beyond Disasters program

Business Beyond Disasters starts in March 2025 and runs over 10 weeks, helping participants plan effectively, build important skills to keep businesses running during tough times, and prepare for the future. These strategies will help businesses recover quickly after a disaster and adapt to future challenges. 

All Northern Rivers businesses and non-profit organisations are invited to join this new, free online learning program.

Business Beyond Disasters features weekly 5-minute online learning modules designed to enable you to think and do differently, with weekly online check-ins to connect and share insights with other participants, plus links to key support resources and services.

Participants have a choice to join one of five specific business programs that best align to their specific area of business including:

retail, professional services and education
agribusiness and aqua business
tourism
health and social services
construction, trade and manufacturing.

RA has engaged Resilient Ready, specialists in business and community risk reduction and resilience, to deliver Business Beyond Disasters.

This Disaster Ready Fund program is funded by the Australian Government and NSW Government.
