The third annual Community Recovery (Human and Social Recovery) Forum was held on 25 October 2018 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The forum’s theme was Communities thriving, not just surviving. A number of Queensland communities had been significantly impacted by disaster events in recent years and the forum showcased innovative strategies some of these communities implemented to survive and recover.

The event featured 22 speakers who presented on a range of topics, from volunteering and business, through to climate change and community-led recovery.

The forum brought together more than 300 delegates from a diverse range of sectors, including:

• Community-based organisations
• Community recovery partners

• Community development consultants
• Community Services and Industry Alliance
• Volunteering Queensland
