Get in touchDisaster outcomes depend on what was in place before the event and on what is decided under pressure during and after it. This programme connects the whole cycle: risk and preparedness, the event and its consequences, and the recovery choices that shape the next one.
Three days with a resilience field day in the middle, in Ballina on the New South Wales Northern Rivers. The venue and the field programme are being confirmed.
The room is cross-functional on purpose. Disaster outcomes depend on how organisations work together, and no single profession sees the whole chain.
Day 1
The systems that shape outcomes before an event.
Day 2
A working field day following the real chain of events: hazard and impact, response, disruption, recovery decisions, reconstruction and the risk that remains.
In person only. The route and hosts are confirmed closer to the course.
Day 3
Field evidence becomes organisational capability, with a decision workshop at the centre of the day.
Themes are published at this level while the field programme is confirmed. Register your interest and you will hear first when places are released.
28–30 April 2027, Ballina, NSW. Register your interest for programme and registration updates.

Feedback on the Apter learning experience from participants in Coastal Resilience courses, not this programme.
We were deeply impressed by this comprehensive and practical course. It provided essential knowledge that we hope to implement in our national forecasting strategies. Thank you for your valuable guidance and support.
An excellent opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and learn from leading experts. I have taken back a wealth of knowledge to my council and made contacts that will support my work into the future.
An eye-opening and transformative experience. The Coastal Resilience Short Course reshaped how I approach coastal planning — moving beyond technical fixes to embrace systems thinking, meaningful community engagement, and long-term adaptation. I left the course with practical tools, renewed clarity, and a stronger sense of purpose in my role.
