Be Prepared with Emergency Exercises

Effective emergency preparedness requires more than just a plan—it demands regular testing, training, and evaluation. Our Emergency Exercise Facilitation services help organisations assess their response capabilities through realistic scenarios that enhance coordination, decision-making, and compliance with legal requirements.

We design and conduct exercises that align with Victorian regulations, including the Emergency Management Act 2013 (Vic), OHS Act 2004 (Vic), and Australian Standard AS 3745-2010, ensuring your organisation remains compliant while improving overall safety.

By testing your emergency plans, identifying areas for improvement, and reinforcing critical response skills, we help your team develop confidence and readiness for real-world incidents.

Whether through tabletop discussions, functional exercises, or full-scale simulations, our structured approach enhances resilience, strengthens leadership, and supports continuous improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should my organisation conduct emergency exercises?

Emergency exercises help test and improve your emergency response plans, ensuring that your team is prepared for real incidents. They identify gaps, improve coordination, enhance decision-making, and ensure compliance with legal and industry standards.

Are emergency exercises legally required in Victoria?

Yes. Under the Emergency Management Act 2013 (Vic) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic), organisations are required to conduct regular emergency exercises to ensure preparedness and compliance with safety regulations. Businesses must also adhere to AS 3745-2010 (Planning for Emergencies in Facilities), which recommends annual exercises.

How often should we run emergency exercises?

Best practice and AS 3745-2010 recommend conducting at least one emergency exercise annually. However, high-risk industries or businesses with frequent operational changes may need more frequent exercises.

How can emergency exercises improve workplace safety?

By reinforcing muscle memory, improving coordination, and ensuring staff know their roles, emergency exercises help reduce panic and enhance response efficiency. They also build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and improve compliance with safety regulations.

Can emergency exercises be customised for my business?

Absolutely. We tailor all exercises to your industry, specific risks, and operational needs. Whether you’re in corporate, retail, healthcare, or an industrial setting, we design exercises that reflect real-world scenarios your team might face.

Do you involve external emergency services in exercises?

Yes, depending on the exercise type and scope, we can coordinate with emergency services, government agencies, and external stakeholders to enhance realism and multi-agency collaboration.
