About the 2008 Australian Safer Communities Awards

The Australian Safer Communities Awards are sponsored by Emergency Management Australia (EMA), a division of the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department, in conjunction with States and Territories.

They recognise best practice and innovation by organisations and individuals that help to build safer communities across Australia. The awards cover all aspects of community safety in the context of emergency management including:

  • risk assessment
  • research
  • education and training
  • information and knowledge management
  • prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.

They awards are judged on two levels - State and Territory winners are decided and recognised first, and in turn become finalists for the National Awards.

Who Can Enter?

Any organisation or individual can enter. Individuals who do enter are encouraged to ensure that their organisation is aware that an entry is being submitted.

If you’re aware of a good project, you can nominate the organisation for an award.

Rewards for Winners

Safer Communities Award winners are recognised throughout the emergency management sector for their outstanding achievement, innovation and professional standing.

State and Territory winners will receive an award and a certificate at a special ceremony.

National award recipients will be sponsored to travel to Canberra to receive their award and certificate.

The National Awards will be presented by the Attorney-General at a ceremony in Parliament House, Canberra in December 2008. The ceremony is followed by a light buffet lunch at the venue.

Press releases and a commemorative booklet will be issued. National winners may use the Australian Safer Communities Awards logo in their letterhead and promotional material.
