Supporting primary care

In response to the 2019-2020 bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic, we took on new responsibilities to support communities in their recovery from drought and bushfire trauma, and to help coordinate the Commonwealth Government's pandemic response. In 2022, we developed an Action Plan: Disaster Preparedness and Response, outlining five key objectives. We are now pleased to be able to highlight the the work we have undertaken to achieve them in our 2022 - 2024 Closeout Report.

Prepare, respond and recover

We have a role in the immediate response to disaster situations, plus a growing role helping source and coordinate people or resources that can assist in response and recovery. Find further information, advice and resources below.
