Emergency Planning Specialists for Government

EvacServices currently supports more than 500 government sites across Australia. This experience gives us a practical understanding of the challenges government organisations face, including large and distributed property portfolios, diverse operating environments, complex stakeholder requirements and the need for consistent compliance across every location.

Government facilities are diverse and often highly complex. Emergency arrangements may need to account for:

Employees and contractors working across multiple locations
Members of the public and visitors unfamiliar with facilities
Customer-facing and high-occupancy environments
Secure, restricted or operational areas
Regional and remote locations
Employees with mobility, sensory or other support needs
Business continuity and essential public services
Coordination across departments, agencies and facility managers

Frequently Asked Questions

What emergency plans do government workplaces require?

Emergency arrangements should reflect each facility’s risks, occupants, activities and applicable requirements. These commonly include an Emergency Management Plan, evacuation procedures, evacuation diagrams, an Emergency Planning Committee and a trained Emergency Control Organisation.

Can EvacServices support large government property portfolios?

Yes. EvacServices currently supports more than 500 government sites across Australia. We deliver nationally coordinated programs across metropolitan, regional and remote locations, with consistent documentation, training, exercises, reporting and portfolio-wide oversight.

How can we train employees working across multiple locations?

EvacConnect allows emergency training to be assigned and monitored across your organisation. This supports consistent training for employees and contractors working across different locations, departments and employment arrangements.

Do contractors require emergency training?

Anyone regularly working within a government facility should understand its alarms, emergency procedures, evacuation routes and the actions expected of them. EvacConnect can provide accessible training and maintain completion records.

How often should government emergency plans be reviewed?

Emergency plans should be reviewed regularly and whenever there are changes to a facility, occupancy, workforce, operations, security environment or identified risks. Exercises and actual incidents may also identify required improvements.

Can you work with our existing emergency documentation?

Yes. We can assess existing plans, procedures and evacuation diagrams, identify gaps and update suitable materials to improve consistency, usability and alignment across the portfolio.
