The training and development team has now released the 2012 Annual Training Calendar. Visit the training and development page for more information.

On 14 February 2012 at 0800 hrs, WA Health and St John's Ambulance change over from the current Disaster Triage Tag system to the national standard Smart Tag Triage System. This is a significant move toward national interoperability in the area of emergency management. See our Smart tag triage information sheet (PDF 181KB) for further information.
