The ACT, like the rest of Australia, is experiencing the impacts of climate change with more frequent and larger disasters impacting more people. The ACT Social Recovery Framework (the Framework) guides and directs social recovery efforts in line with existing community and territory wide arrangements. The Framework will also inform and shape future emergency planning from preparedness through to response and recovery.

The Framework provides a consistent, whole-of-society and future-focused approach to guide social recovery efforts in the ACT. The Framework does this by outlining: 

• A shared vision, principles, priorities and outcomes for social recovery; and 
• Roles and responsibilities for social recovery, including how we partner and collaborate with community and across government and the community sector to enhance readiness and sustainability of our recovery system.
