Our Heritage At Risk is a national program intended to raise awareness of heritage issues in Australia, by identifying those places and objects we value which are at risk. It was set up with the assistance of other prominent heritage organisations in Australia and is coordinated by the Australian Council of National Trusts. 

The program has been developed from the previous Endangered Places Program. It differs from the previous program in that moveable heritage, objects and collections, as well as places can be recommened for consideration. The program remains holistic and will include built, natural and indigenous cultural heritage places and objects.

In October each year a  national panel of heritage practioners select ten places or objects from nomination by each state and territory National Trust.

The community is invited to participate in this process between February and April each year by  recommending to their state or territory National Trust places or objects under threat.

Recommendations must supply evidence of real risk and demonstrate why the place or object has heritage significance; the more detail the better.

Through this program, it is hoped to focus community and media interest on the kinds of threats facing heritage places, in order to achieve policy changes to address the issues raised by those threats, and to marshal community action and government attention to address the identified threats, so that more heritage can be saved for future generations.
