Training Overview
Transformation and Collaboration to Keep the Public Safe
Australia’s emergency services have endured rapid changes over the last two years in the wake of the global pandemic. In these uncertain times, remaining at the forefront of emerging methods to deal with incidents can provide first responders with the tools necessary to ensure they and the public are kept safe. Improving on current protocols and implementing new methods to ensure the most effective response can be a challenging process.
To overcome these challenges, join us at the Q1 Training: Advancing Current Practices and Implementing New Methods for More Effective Incident Management. Through an innovative mix of lecture-style presentations, interactive group exercises and expert feedback, participants will learn the fundamentals of adopting new methods of approach and improving response management.
This session provides you with all the tools and techniques to apply to investigation, safety, incident management and collaboration between agencies. Participants leave with theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as an understanding of the latest methods to apply to their own incident response.
