SUPPORT YOUR ACTIVITY
If you are leading a remote cross-country trek in the Kimberley, hosting a long-distance running event in the Australian Alps, conducting a charity hike in Central Australia, or undertaking any other remote area activity, we can provide a suite of services to help ensure it is planned and delivered safely. If an incident occurs, the necessary systems are already in place to support an effective response. Our products and services are modular and tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each activity or organisation.
Some examples of how we can help:
Expedition Emergency Management
Standby Trail Medical Support
Trek or Activity Plan Reviews
Pre-Expedition Training

UPSKILL YOUR STAFF
Train your staff in highly focused, customised, and relevant skill sets, then test those capabilities in real-world conditions. Staff are rarely assessed in actual emergency situations where variable factors such as hunger, thirst, fear, and discomfort affect both well-being and decision-making. Knowing what to do is very different from doing it under pressure in a high-stress environment. Put your staff, equipment, and systems to the test.
Some examples of how we can help:
Customised ops training programs
Competency-based remote area training
Performance testing under field conditions
Field readiness assessment

STRENGTHEN YOUR SYSTEMS
Preventive planning and preparation is the most effective way to reduce risk, prevent incidents, and minimise harm outdoors. However, many remote area, outdoor, and wilderness systems are generic, untested, or not suited to the physical, technical, and operational demands of the activity. We review, evaluate, and test these systems—including SOPs, procedures, actions on, staff, and equipment—in the actual conditions in which they will be used, so you know they will work when it matters most.
Some examples of how we can help:
System stress testing for events
Forensic reviews of incident systems
SOP enhancement for tour operators
Scenario testing for remote mining teams

Our field teams, typically made up of 2–4 personnel, are fully equipped, trained, and resourced to operate independently in remote areas. They are supported by fully equipped 4WD vehicles and can also deploy rapidly by ATV, dirt bike, helicopter, light aircraft, or boat. All teams deploy with fully equipped packs and are capable of operating independently for 24–48 hours, day or night, with a focus on complex and difficult terrain.
