Following the acceptance in 2003 by the Council of Australian Governments of the twelve reform commitments into natural disaster mitigation, relief and recovery arrangements; the Department of Transport and Regional Services engaged Geoscience Australia to act as its technical advisor in a national program of natural hazard risk assessment. One step in this process was the development of a catalogue of riverine flood studies completed in Australia between 1980 and mid 2004. The catalogue is the first attempt at assembling information on existing flood studies at a national level. It provides the foundation from which to identify and prioritise areas for future flood studies, improving our knowledge of national flood risk. Attributes stored in the database are described; a number of conclusions are drawn from the data, and a number of recommendations are made relating to the future development of a comprehensive national flood risk assessment.
