It's a moment that fills your heart with pride and joy—seeing people not only overcome their fears but also stand tall with confidence and achievement. The winning photo from the 2024 Queensland Resilient Australia Awards speaks volumes about the power of resilience and the strength of the human spirit.
Carinbundi, a dedicated NDIS support services provider in Bundaberg, picked up the top accolade for their image of smiling participants at the conclusion of their emergency preparedness training program.
The photo showcases these remarkable individuals proudly holding their certificates of completion and their very own emergency kits. It’s more than just a snapshot—it’s a symbol of courage and growth.
It reflects the profound sense of accomplishment that comes with completing their five-week Emergency and Disaster Management Preparedness Training Program. This isn't just any training—it's about building the confidence and capability of people living with a disability to feel safe, secure, and empowered during an emergency.
With a person-centred approach and workshops led by local emergency services, Carinbundi created a space where clients could learn, grow, and feel supported. The result? Real progress. Real resilience. A community that’s stronger together. And, we have the photograph that captures it all.
It’s no surprise Carinbundi won the People’s Choice Photography Award at both the 2024 Queensland Resilient Australia Awards and the National Resilient Australia Awards.
Let’s keep the conversation going. Photographing resilience is a story, reflected in a moment.
