• Disasters and emergencies in Australia – Communities are prepared and resilient to the increasing number of climate-related disasters and other emergencies.
• International disasters – In Asia Pacific and globally, communities have an increased capacity to prepare for, anticipate, respond to and recover from disasters and crises.
• Migrants in transition -Refugees, people seeking asylum and people in immigration detention experience a safe, fair, welcoming and inclusive world.
• Laws of war – Better humanitarian outcomes are reached for people and communities impacted by armed conflicts.
• First Nations peoples -First Nations peoples and communities build on their strengths to lead systematic changes and have more opportunities to shape their own futures.
• People in the justice system – As many people as possible never reach the justice system and those who come out of the system are supported to participate in society.
• Community services – People falling through the gaps, including those experiencing homelessness and loneliness are supported, feel included and empowered in society.
