The Security & Resilience Hub acts as the intersection between academic expertise and industry to foster advancements in national & digital security, sustainable & resilient infrastructure, and disaster management.
Our activities directly address Australia's National Science and Research Priority 5: “Building a secure and resilient nation”.
The hub fosters a collaborative environment with cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships with industry, government and communities. These collaborations lead to the creation of sustainable solutions that safeguard our society and infrastructure and build disaster-resilient communities.
We provide scientific and technical expertise, research translation, and education programs, including bespoke education offerings, to build the workforce of the future.
Event date: 27 March 2026 | Event time: 10:30am – 12:30pm

The RMIT Security and Resilience Hub partners with government and private industries, as well as other educational institutes, in its efforts to contribute to Australia's National Science and Research Priority 5: “Building a secure and resilient nation”. There are many partnership opportunities and ways to collaborate, and we are always open to new ideas. Key collaborations include the below.
Our researchers have extensive experience in conducting and translating research to address real world challenges. The hub director, supported by a team of research partnership managers, works with potential partners to identify the appropriate opportunities and mechanisms for collaboration. Whether it be directly contracted research, leveraging government funded grant opportunities, participating in large scale consortium bids or via PhD programs, there is always a way in which we can collaborate to address industry needs. Our world leading experts also offer consultancy services with extensive subject matter expertise.
We work with industry to develop and deliver a wide range of education programs spanning short one or two day workshops, six week long micro-credentials or full courses, all of which can be customised to train and upskill the next generation of graduates in critical skill areas such as Agentic AI and LLMs, predictive modelling, digital twins, fire safety and emergency management techniques. As a STEM College Hub, the S&R Hub has access to academic experts from the Schools of Engineering, Science, Computing and Biomedical and Health Sciences to co-design and deliver these programs.
