Resilience NSW was a Government of New South Wales executive agency within the Department of Premier and Cabinet, focused on disaster management and was responsible for disaster recovery and building community resilience to future disasters.[1] It was established on 1 May 2020, following the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season a few months prior.[2] It replaced the Office of Emergency Management, an office within the Department of Communities and Justice.
The agency was headed by Shane Fitzsimmons, who was previously the Commissioner of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service. The head of Resilience NSW reported to Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience. At the time, the Minister responsible was Steph Cooke.[3]
