Abstract
Emergency events are increasingly impacting the Australian community. Preventing, preparing, responding and recovering from emergencies is a role undertaken by a person known colloquially, but amorphously as an emergency manager. Professionalising the Australian emergency manager and providing a framework as catalyst for that change has arisen from this current innovative Australian research.
Based on 20 years of Australian judicial and semi-judicial inquiries and targeted interviews this research proposes a formal definition of the Emergency Manager and identifies and defines new roles of Response Manager and Recovery Manager. The proposed new definitions support the "Emergency Management T-Shaped Transdisciplinary Model". This new model supports the journey of professionalisation that is currently underway across Australian emergency and disaster management practitioners.
