The State-of-the-Art Disaster Symposium is a two-day forum dedicated to advancing knowledge, innovation, and collaboration in disaster risk reduction, preparedness, response, and recovery.<\/p>\n<p>As the frequency and complexity of disasters continue to increase, the symposium brings together thought leaders, practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers to examine emerging challenges and share cutting-edge solutions across disciplines and sectors involved in disaster management.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The symposium will be conducted over two days. The first day will feature keynote addresses from leading authorities and internationally recognised experts, providing strategic insight and thought leadership. The second day offers a unique, hands-on learning experience, designed to translate strategy and evidence into practice.<\/p>\n<p>Through high-calibre presentations, interactive dialogue, case studies, and critical reflection, the symposium will foster informed discussion, strengthen partnerships, and inspire action toward more resilient communities and systems. We invite all attendees to engage fully, challenge assumptions, and contribute to shaping the future of disaster management and resilience in our beautiful state of Queensland.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:7px;margin-bottom:7px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\" style=\"--awb-border-size:1px;--awb-icon-size:13px;--awb-content-font-size:1rem;--awb-icon-alignment:left;--awb-hover-color:#f9f9f9;--awb-border-color:#cccccc;--awb-background-color:#ffffff;--awb-divider-color:#e0dede;--awb-divider-hover-color:#e0dede;--awb-icon-color:#ffffff;--awb-title-color:#3366cc;--awb-content-color:#000000;--awb-icon-box-color:#333333;--awb-toggle-hover-accent-color:#008598;--awb-title-font-family:&quot;Noto Sans&quot;;--awb-title-font-weight:700;--awb-title-font-style:normal;--awb-title-font-size:1.2143rem;--awb-title-line-height:1.2;--awb-content-font-family:&quot;Noto Sans&quot;;--awb-content-font-style:normal;--awb-content-font-weight:regular;\"><div class=\"panel-group fusion-toggle-icon-boxed\" id=\"accordion-3226-1\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-17c7927b8e6c11da1 fusion-toggle-has-divider\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#3366cc;--awb-content-color:#000000;\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_17c7927b8e6c11da1\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"17c7927b8e6c11da1\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-3226-1\" data-target=\"#17c7927b8e6c11da1\" href=\"#17c7927b8e6c11da1\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Workshop<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"17c7927b8e6c11da1\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_17c7927b8e6c11da1\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p><strong>Friday 25th September<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>8am-4pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Venue: RBWH Education Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0one\u2011day interactive workshop explores three mass casualty scenarios the health system may face.
