Allowing you to deal with the octopus in the pond
Like an octopus in a pond, DFV is often camouflaged and isn’t easily seen, when disturbed, will muddy (ink) the water so that you are not sure what you have seen, and unfortunately in some cases will be fatal.

Keeping Australian Organisations compliant
At Wilcons we know that compliance is an expensive activity. That is why we have automated our compliance checking system to allow us to check your plans and evacuation maps to make sure that they are compliant.
These checks are free and the survey link will take you about five minutes to complete. We will come back to you with a compliance health check. This is totally free. Free from cost and free from obligation.
You will receive a report that shows the areas that are compliant and any gaps in compliance that may exist. Many businesses will be fully compliant. If you are – then we don’t want to provide you with a service that you don’t need. That is a waste of your time and money.

Some of our frequently asked questions
You don’t know what it is you don’t know – so never be afraid to ask a question. If your question is not included here – send us an email via the contact us tab opposite.
How much do emergency management plans cost?
Our plans start at $750.00 (+gst). We do discount for multiple plans i.e. multiple residential facilities. Some plans that require more industry specific planning will cost more. Please ask us for an obligation free quote.
Do we have to comply with Australian Standards?
Compliance with Australian Standards is highly recommended. Some businesses may find that their insurance requirements include acknowledgement that you comply with Australian Standards.
It is also important to understand that if there is an incident, then the relevant WorkSafe or SafeWork Authority may want to seek to review your plan and its compliance.
Remember – it is always better to have it and not need it; than to need it and not have it.
What is the relevance of a "Lockdown" in Australia?
A common misconception about lockdowns is that they are only relevant for an ‘active shooter’ event at the workplace, which thankfully is a rare occurrence. We are however seeing more incidents where lockdowns are required due to incidents that occur outside of the workplace. For example a nearby domestic incident, may cause the police to instruct a lockdown.
Would you know what to do, where to go and how to instruct your team if your business or organisation was directed to lockdown?
We can assist you with specific plans and exercises to ensure that your business is prepared for a lockdown incident.
What is the relevance of risk management?
The ability for a business to identify the risks that pose the greatest risk to your people and business or organisation, means that you can devote your time and resources to addressing the risks that impact you. Spending a lot of time and a lot of money for a low risk issue to make it a low risk issue, is an expensive and futile process.
At Wilcons we can assist with Risk Assessment Tools. We can also assist in undertaking risk assessments with your team.
A team that understands the risks are more likely to be engaged to reduce the risks than a team that do not understand the process.
