The Resilience
Pilot Project

FREE resilience workshops to help harden your home.

GERF has partnered with the Resilient Building Council (RBC) to help Gippslanders better prepare for bushfires, storms, and other natural disasters.

As part of this pilot project, free community workshops will be held across Gippsland to guide homeowners through RBC’s easy-to-use bushfire resilience assessment app.

Whether you’re living in an older home, planning a new build, or rebuilding after a loss, these workshops will be invaluable.

Understand, improve, and strengthen your home.

Understand your home’s vulnerabilities

Learn about RBC’s new Multi-Hazard Resilience Ratings system; it measures your home’s vulnerability to bushfires, storms or floods and produces a personalised recommendation report for increasing your home’s resilience.

Learn practical ways to improve resilience

Get clear, cost-effective advice on steps you can take (big or small) to harden your home and better protect your family.

Access support for completing upgrades

Find out what to do next and explore how certified upgrades could lead to insurance or mortgage discounts.

Workshop Dates

Please register to secure your spot — we’ll provide light refreshments, and ask that you come prepared with RBC’s Resilience Rating app installed on your phone or device (available at rating.rbcouncil.org). See you there!
