Over the years we have strived to improve community outcomes with our projects:
Maritime New Zealand
Building Response Capability
In 2025, Maritime New Zealand recognised the need to build consistency, capability and continuity across its emergency response personnel. This included staff responsible for incident management, search and rescue coordination, and working with external agencies during responses.
Our team worked with Maritime New Zealand to develop and deliver two tailored workshops focused on strengthening situational assessment, incident planning and briefing capabilities.
The workshops combined practical tools and theory with real-world emergency management experience to enhance response capability across the organisation.
Australian Maritime Safety Authority
Exercise Thalassarche
Exercise Thalassarche was conducted in Hobart and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel region of Tasmania between 14 and 16 November 2023. Exercise Thalassarche was jointly led by Phoenix Resilience, Australian Maritime Safety Authority, Environment Protection Authority Tasmania and TasPorts.
The exercise was designed to practice and continue to build a national maritime pollution capability by implementing a combined Commonwealth, Tasmanian and National Response Team response to a level 3 marine pollution emergency in Tasmanian state and port waters.
Over the course of three days, over 200 people participated from 26 agencies including government, the private sector and non-government organisations (NGOs).
Animal Health Australia
Crisis Management Planning Project
The Crisis management planning for livestock industries project was identified as a national priority to strengthen preparedness for potential emergency animal disease (EAD) incursions.
The project aimed to build industry capability and ensure all livestock sectors have crisis management plans (CMPs) that are effective, ready to use and aligned with government and cross‑industry responses.
Phoenix Resilience developed the Crisis Management Plan template and supporting tools, and delivered training and exercises.
Logan City Council
Integrated Response Capability
The City of Logan is one of the largest and fastest growing cities in Australia. To Council is growing with the community and it was recognised that an integrated system between the disaster response and the Council response to crises and disruption was required.
Since 2023 our team has been working with Logan to design, implement, train, test and improve the intedgarted arrangements. Significant efficiences are achieved by having one training program, one exercise program and consistent terminonoloy and processes across all response capabilites.
City of Ipswich
2022 Flood After Action Review
During the 2022 flood, staff from across Council and partner agencies came together to support the Local Disaster Coordination Centre and Local Recovery and Resilience Group. Even though many outstanding achievements were noted, there is always opportunity to learn.
Ipswich City Council embraced that opportunity and went the extra step by publishing the reports. Our review covered the operational aspects, as well as the strategic, resulting in two reports.
Lockyer Valley Regional Council
