This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to command an organisation's personnel within a multi-agency emergency response environment.

Command is the internal direction of the members and resources of an organisation in the performance of the organisation's roles and tasks by agreement or in accordance with relevant legislation. Command operates vertically within an organisation.

The unit is applicable to public safety personnel who have a command role within their own organisation who are required to administer that command in a multi-agency response environment. It does not include commanding personnel from other organisations or agencies in a multi-organisational/agency response.

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