The Resilience Expert Advisory Group (REAG) promotes organisational resilience across Australia’s critical infrastructure owners and operators. REAG provides strategic advice, guidance and tools to mature security and resilience approaches. REAG also advises the Trusted Information Sharing Network (TISN) and the Critical Infrastructure Advisory Council (CIAC) on practical ways to improve organisational resilience to support security and resilience uplift.
REAG will work with the
Supply Chain Expert Advisory Group (SCEAG) to develop guidance and best practice on the uplift of resilience to critical infrastructure supply chains.
The REAG was formed in 2010 and is supported by the Australian Government through the Department of Home Affairs.
The REAG’s mission is to uplift the security and resilience of Australia’s critical infrastructure in the face of all hazards. It guides the critical infrastructure community on how to adopt and mature security and resilience approaches. This mission aligns with the Australian Government’s 2023 Critical Infrastructure Resilience Strategy and Plan.
The REAG supported to comprehensively update the Organisational Resilience HealthCheck Tool and Good Practice Guide. This free self-assessment tool helps stakeholders assess their organisation’s resilience capabilities to identify opportunities for improvement. The updated products launched in March 2024.
The REAG also supported the update of the Strategic Decision Making Process: A Guide to Crisis Management (2025). This free guide helps stakeholders understand how to make strong decisions during a crisis. It includes practical advice on applying strategic decision-making principles in their organisations.
