QRAT ACTIVATION AND STAND-DOWN
QRAT can be activated by any emergency service that requires our capabilities or assistance. Examples are Police, Rural Fires, and State Emergency Services, or other search and rescue agencies.
If you are a member of the public and reporting an emergency, you should contact the local police.
Activation
In order to activate QRAT, the agency representative should select the group that is closest to their region, and ring the numbers below in chronological order. From there we will check availability, and report back as to the teams’ ability to activate.

Stand Down
The team will consider its role in a particular activation terminated when agencies’ no longer need our service, the task is deemed outside our capability, or if the situation results in QRAT’s minimum safe operating procedures are unmet.
