Disaster Management and Recovery
CSIA is here to support organisations advance their disaster management and recovery planning and responses.
Since 2017, CSIA has been working closely with the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors with a focus on advancing the Community Services Industry through disaster preparedness.
The Community Services Industry is often the first point of contact of call before, during and long after disaster or health pandemics strike.
A mix of being prepared and having strong networks and connections are key to an organisation’s response. So is having access to Industry specific resources and tools to accelerate planning and preparedness.
We have deep connections and networks across Industry. These reach from the major cities through to our regional, rural and remote colleagues.
It’s from this work that we are able to engage this extensive expertise into a series of Industry specific resources that deliver real change.

Resources and tools for every stage
CSIA is here to advance the Community Services Industry by doing business better especially in times of health pandemics.
During COVID-19 collaborated quickly with Industry and Government to develop tools and resources to accelerate the Industry and organisation’s preparedness.
Don’t panic! Be prepared.
Here are a suite of resources developed in collaboration with Industry to meet our unique requirements at every stage of planning and preparedness.
