About Us

WHO WE ARE

Australasian Response Group (RTO 53037) provides emergency response training, personnel, equipment and vehicles to the mining, oil and gas, local government and aviation sectors. Our emergency management process is described in four phases: prevent, prepare, respond, and recover. In practice, sites do not experience these as separate problems. A gap in a plan becomes an equipment shortfall, which becomes a training need, which becomes an issue on the day. We work across all four because they are the same problem viewed at different points in time.

We are a Registered Training Organisation, and we run emergency response operations ourselves. That combination is the point. What we teach comes from what we do, and the equipment we supply through Rescue Systems Australia is the equipment our own crews carry.

What we do

Most clients come to us with one problem and stay because the next one sits with us too. A site that needs its ERT trained often needs an ESO placed, equipment supplied, or a plan audited. Having those in one place means fewer suppliers, and advice that accounts for the whole picture rather than the part we happen to sell.

Why clients choose ARG

🔴 Training: Nationally accredited emergency response, rescue, and underground live fire training, delivered at our facility or on site. RTO Code 53037.

🔴 Personnel: ESOs, medics, and rescue operators for long-term placements, short-term cover, and project work.

🔴 Equipment and Vehicles: Supplied through Rescue Systems Australia, including exclusive AMKUS distribution across four countries.

🔴 Planning and Auditing: Emergency response planning and preparedness audits that examine what would actually happen, not what the plan says.

🔴 Decontamination: On-scene and facility-based decontamination of personnel and PPC. Seventy-five percent of what we earn from this goes to the Firefighters Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Prevent

Effective prevention begins with a thorough understanding of the risks associated with processes, projects, and personnel, followed by the proactive development of mitigation strategies. By identifying potential hazards early, we can implement tailored solutions to safeguard your operations and ensure the safety of your team.

Prepare

Often associated with compliance and referred to as Planning, effective emergency management planning is grounded in the risks identified during prevention assessments. By systematically addressing these risks, we create robust plans that enhance preparedness and ensure a swift, coordinated response to any emergency.

Respond

The capability of site personnel and management to assist and intervene during and immediately following an emergency is crucial. The primary focus of response efforts is to save lives and protect assets, ensuring swift and effective action in critical situations.

Recover

Business continuity plays a significant role in the PPRR process, with the primary focus of recovery being to restore the project and its personnel to a state of full operability following a crisis. This phase involves evaluating the impact of the emergency, implementing corrective actions, and ensuring that all systems are functioning optimally to prevent future disruptions.
