This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to lead and work with others in complex and uncertain circumstances, where threats and surprise can induce stress and anxiety in team members. It applies to roles with responsibility for risk mitigation, crisis preparedness, crisis response and recovery functions for communities and/or organisations.

A crisis includes varying events of significant disruption having broad effects on relationships among community and/or organisation members. It is characterised by high levels of adversity, ambiguity, uncertainty, opportunity and change. Leaders in a crisis need to independently make sense of uncertain situations, creatively seek solutions and apply judgment and decision making in highly pressurised environments.

Emergency services leaders work autonomously, within collegiate environments, that require the ability to build and develop relationships and partnerships for mandated action within a broad range of informal and formal groups. Emergency service leadership roles are complex requiring the individual to make ethical decisions in variable, evolving and dynamic circumstances.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
