NHRF26: Leading to impact for safer, more resilient and sustainable communities.
Safe. Resilient. Sustainable.
Natural Hazards Research Australia will host the fifth annual Natural Hazards Research Forum (NHRF) at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide from 10 to 12 June 2026.
Over the past five years Natural Hazards Research Australia (the Centre) has evolved from emerging voice to established leader in natural hazards research.
98 core research projects, 300+ researchers, $34+ million funded - learn about research translated into action at NHRF26.
The Natural Hazards Research Forum is Australia’s pre-eminent meeting place for thought leadership and dialogue on natural hazards research. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with leading research, reflect on lessons learned and discuss how innovation can support safer, more resilient and sustainable communities – now and into the future.
The theme for NHRF26, leading to impact for safer, more resilient and sustainable communities, celebrates the power of research to drive knowledge creation and real-world change. It highlights the Centre’s commitment to turning knowledge into action– research that informs policy, strengthens practice and empowers communities.
Achieving this vision demands a collaborative, multi-faceted approach: building stakeholder relationships, strengthening infrastructure, embedding resilience into planning and design, fostering social and economic stability and adapting systems to meet future challenges.
NHRF26 is a call for sustained action — to lead with purpose, partner with communities and amplify impact.
The Forum is an in-person event with a live stream component available. Watch the NHRF25 plenary sessions.
