The Telecommunications Disaster Resilience Innovation (TDRI) Program, administered by Australia's Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, funds projects that strengthen the resilience of telecommunications networks during natural disasters.

The program targets solutions for rural and remote communities, which are disproportionately vulnerable to connectivity failures when emergencies strike. Eligible projects may include infrastructure upgrades, redundancy improvements, or innovative technologies that maintain or rapidly restore communications during disaster events.

This program is particularly relevant for telecommunications providers, technology companies, and research organizations developing practical resilience solutions for underserved regional and remote Australian communities.
