Disaster Responding

Governments at all levels recognise the need for well-trained frontline workers in disaster response and recovery. Phoenix Australia has been entrusted with delivering large-scale, government-funded training initiatives that equip professionals and communities with the skills to respond effectively to disasters such as bushfires, floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

With funding from the Federal and Victorian Governments, our tailored courses in Psychological First Aid, Trauma-informed Care, and trauma-focused therapies have trained over 8,000 professionals across Australia. These programs provide evidence-based strategies to strengthen disaster response, support affected individuals and promote resilience.

Phoenix Australia’s leadership in this space has been nationally recognised, including an award from the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience. When governments invest in disaster recovery training, they turn to us for expert, high-impact programs that make a lasting difference.
