Justice & Emergency Management

Effective justice and emergency management systems are integral to public safety and prosperity.

The impacts of natural emergencies and disasters are being felt by an increasing number of Australians. They have heightened the need for agencies to undertake more coordinated and effective prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery activities. Concerns about crime remain prevalent, too, highlighting the importance of a fair and accessible justice system.

The need for close collaboration between stakeholders is central to justice and emergency management alike. We bring people together, navigate complex institutional relationships, and support clients to identify and deliver system and service improvements. We help build the resilience and sense of security that Australians need in order to thrive.

Our work includes

  • Fire and emergency services

    Effective emergency management requires coordinating resources and relationships to bring organisations and processes together to maintain community safety and wellbeing, and to increase resilience against disasters’ impact. We improve emergency management outcomes through monitoring, evaluation and assessment; organisational development; and service design and implementation.

  • Police and law enforcement

    Police and law enforcement organisations must focus on proactive and preventative policing and have the culture and structure to support high-performing teams. We work with them to develop and implement contemporary, evidence-based law enforcement that combines greater operational mobility, linked-up intelligence and a whole-of-government approach to meeting the needs of vulnerable people.

  • Justice

    Making the justice system smarter, fairer and more effective at keeping the community safe requires collaboration among the government, community and agencies. Our justice work includes designing policy to support law reform, using data to understand cost dynamics, using technology to improve access, and implementing strategies and transformations to support administration.

  • Courts

    The right service model will enhance the experience of users of courts, a critical service. Our consultants support court administrators to develop their operating model and optimise their services so they meet the needs of users, including those who have experienced family violence.
