In our region, natural disasters are an ever-present reality. These emergencies can significantly impact business continuity in general practice. To meet RACGP standards for general practice, healthcare organisations must compile and maintain a comprehensive emergency response plan. Find resources below to support your organisation’s disaster preparedness.

You can use online tools and resources to prepare for disasters such as floods, bushfires, drought, and pandemics.
