Australia Crisis Management Plan for Higher Education
resilience

Higher Education in Australia comes with unique challenges.

A Crisis Management Plan specific to Australia's Higher Education businesses requires a unique approach due to the complex and dynamic nature of the industry. With an increasing emphasis on international student recruitment and ongoing regulatory changes, universities and educational institutions in Australia face a range of potential crises such as natural disasters, security threats, and reputational challenges. This necessitates a comprehensive plan that not only addresses emergency response protocols but also incorporates communication strategies, stakeholder management, legal compliance, and a strong focus on international students' welfare and support. A well-designed Crisis Management Plan is crucial for Higher Education businesses to safeguard their reputation, ensure student safety, and maintain long-term resilience in an ever-changing landscape.

how we do it

Four phases to completing your Crisis Management program.

Higher Education organisations experience similar challenges here in Australia, but your unique situation will require unique solutions. Our four phase approach to the management and facilitation of our programs allows space for customisation. With strict processes, timelines, responsibilities, and project management procedures in place, Fixinc ensures that your programs are following best practice, and specific to you.

Phase 1
Engagement

During the engagement phase of your Crisis Management program, you have the chance to get aquainted with your project team and validate the essential milestones linked to your project. This leads to potential outcomes such as:

Confirmation of project scope.
Development of implementation plan.
Assigning roles and responsibilities.

“Our resilience consultants are available to shoulder the burdens of your project. This ensures timely and cost-effective delivery. Here, you'll have a chance to meet them and build meaningful relationships."

Brad, Global Head of Consulting and co-Founder

Phase 2
Analysis

Fixinc's Crisis Management analysis aims to assess your current capability level and identify the critical products and services that are crucial for your organisation's survival in the event of a disruption. The key outcomes that may arise from this analysis are:

Review current documents.
Analysing organisational products and services.
Review the current threat environment.

Developing comprehensive Crisis Management across your organisation requires a fundamental understanding of Higher Education products and services and the critical business functions that support them. This knowledge is crucial to ensure a holistic approach to business resilience and one we take very seriously.

Phase 3
Development

The development phase of a Crisis Management program yields tangible results and artefacts that can aid response teams in executing a well-structured and prompt response to any incident. The outcomes of this phase may include:

Develop incident response structure.
Develop recovery strategies.
Communication protocols.
Tools and checklists.

“The incident response plan serves as a framework to guide any Higher Education response team in handling a disruption promptly. To be effective, the plan should be direct, adaptable, concise, and relevant.“

Ollie, Managing Director and co-Founder

Phase 4
Validation
The fourth phase aims to validate that the activities conducted in phases 1-3 are appropriate and fullfill their intended purpose. This phase also ensures that there is a continuous program of improvement in place. The key outcomes that may result from this phase are:
Response personnel training.
Scenario exercises.
Critical component testing.
Review and audit.
Maintenance program implementation.

An incident response plan should not be considered final until it has been thoroughly validated. The validation process should not only apply to the plan but also to the individuals who will be implementing it and threat landscape unique to Higher Education in Australia.

Disaster Recovery advice from Fixinc

At Fixinc, we understand the challenges faced by businesses when it comes to Crisis Management. In today's fast-paced world, businesses in Australia need to be proactive in order to effectively respond to crises and protect their reputation. With our expertise in disaster recovery and risk management, we can help your business navigate through any crisis and emerge stronger.

One key component of a Crisis Management program is the establishment of a comprehensive crisis communication plan. This plan should outline how your business will communicate with both internal and external stakeholders during a crisis. Our consultants can work with you to develop a tailored communication strategy that ensures timely and accurate information is disseminated, minimizing the impact of the crisis.

Another key component is identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities. Our team can conduct a thorough risk assessment to identify areas of vulnerability within your organization. This will enable us to develop proactive measures and contingency plans to mitigate the impact of potential crises. By addressing vulnerabilities before they become crises, your business can minimize the disruption and maintain business continuity.

In addition, it is crucial to train and educate your employees on crisis response procedures. Our consultants can provide training sessions and workshops to equip your employees with the knowledge and skills they need to respond effectively during a crisis. This will help create a culture of preparedness and ensure that your team can act quickly and confidently when faced with a crisis.

With Fixinc as your consulting partner, you can have peace of mind knowing that your business is well-prepared to handle any crisis.
