<![CDATA[Abstract Disaster-related issues have become a study in International Relations because these issues categorize into non-traditional security issues that threaten human security. This particular issue of disaster becomes an issue that has its own challenges because it requires special handling and great attention because of the impact caused by various kinds of disasters that are very detrimental to humans’ life. Both Indonesia and Australia have ratified the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) framework which discusses disaster risk reduction efforts have long collaborated in the disaster sector, one of which is in the post-tsunami Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam’s reconstruction program in 2004. Since then, the cooperation between the both countries have continued and developed, one of which is cooperation in the field of disaster risk reduction which was marked by the signing of the 2016-2018 Disaster Risk Management MoU between the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB). One of the areas focusing through this cooperation is the province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) in which has the fourth highest disaster threat in Indonesia. Hence, seeing the dynamics of the relationship between Australia and Indonesia which currently tends to fluctuate, researchers are interested in discussing the implementation and also the various obstacles of disaster risk reduction cooperation between DFAT Australia and BNPB Indonesia in NTT province by using both theories of foreign aid and disaster resilience theory respectively.
