Cairns Resilient Businesses Network

Join the free Cairns Resilient Businesses Network to help you and your business face challenges like pandemics and natural disasters.

Get support to become more resilient through training, workshops and planning templates. Get help to create a disaster plan which can be tested in a disaster scenario exercise.

The network is an initiative of Cairns Regional Council with support from the Cairns Chamber of Commerce.

Contact our Disaster Management Unit at cairnsdisastermanagement@cairns.qld.gov.au or call 1300 69 22 47 to join the Cairns Resilient Businesses Network.

Be ready for any business interruption

The network offers training, support and networking for businesses demonstrating levels of resilience through documented planning.

Membership and the resilience building resources are free – the only requirement is that you work towards the network’s resilience standards.

In return, your achievement will be recognised with a certificate, your membership can be promoted to customers, and you will of course be better prepared for business interruptions.
