Supporting the community during disasters  

Maintaining a current and well-prepared Emergency Kit is an important part of accreditation requirements and supports patient and staff safety, particularly in times of emergency and disaster. 

Simple steps for having a working Emergency Kit include ensuring your kit: 

  • has the required items and they are stocked and in date 

  • is suitable for foreseeable emergency situations 

  • undergoes documented checks and updates as part of routine practice processes. 

You can familiarise yourself with the RACGP guidance and ensure your practice Emergency Kit aligns with these expectations: RACGP - Emergency kit
