Emergency Management Sector Workforce Strategy
The Emergency Management Sector Workforce Strategy project will provide sector-wide guidance and alignment in the building of a sustainable, diverse and inclusive workforce to meet foreseeable challenges. The strategy does not seek to replace organisations’ internal strategy development and workforce planning practices; it will provide a common planning narrative to align similar efforts across agencies.
Critical Infrastructure Resilience
Resilience recognises that while it is impossible to prevent the occurrence of natural disasters, it is possible to mitigate risks and consequences through effective planning. ‘Resilience’, refers to our ability to ‘bounce back’ after disasters, and with improved ability, withstand future impacts.
The department acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and acknowledges and pays respect to their Elders, past and present.
