The SafeAustralasia Foundation Ltd is an Australian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting safety, preparedness, and community resilience across the Australasian region. It operates as a registered charity under the Australian Business Number (ABN) 66801391512RR0001.

Overview

SafeAustralasia Foundation was established with the goal of supporting various safety and disaster management initiatives that align with the needs of the region. The organization serves as a sister entity to the SafeAmerica Foundation, an established U.S.-based nonprofit founded in 1994. While SafeAmerica has over 25 years of experience partnering with government, corporate, public, private, and nonprofit sectors to enhance safety awareness in the United States, SafeAustralasia adapts similar programs and frameworks to address regional safety and preparedness requirements in Australia and neighboring countries.

Activities and Programs

The Foundation's activities focus on education, community safety, and cyber security awareness. It regularly conducts educational events such as presentations, discussion forums, and training exercises—often utilizing virtual platforms like Microsoft Teams—to engage leaders and emerging leaders from various sectors. These sessions address contemporary challenges in disaster management, community safety, and cyber security, fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge sharing and skills development.

Specifically, SafeAustralasia works closely with first responder agencies, law enforcement, government bodies, and businesses of all sizes to enhance operational and technical expertise in public safety. It supports educational courses sponsored through Australian institutions or approved international programs connected to Australian curricula.

In the realm of cyber security, the Foundation partners with subject matter experts and organizations to promote awareness and provide training on the latest cyber safety countermeasures. These efforts aim to protect government agencies, businesses, and the wider community from cyber threats.

Governance and Development

During its recent operational period, SafeAustralasia focused on developing its digital presence by launching and enhancing its website, which serves as a platform for resource dissemination and community engagement.

Although it has not consistently updated all regulatory filings publicly, including annual reports, the Foundation continues to fulfill its mission through ongoing education and partnership-building within the region.

The SafeAustralasia Foundation represents a key regional effort to build an alliance of organizations committed to improving safety education, community resilience, and cyber security preparedness in Australasia, inspired by successful models abroad and adapted for local relevance.[1][2][3][5]
