EMPA Research and Development Centre

EMPA Research and Development Centre is supervised by a committee of practitioners from government agencies and researchers from La Trobe University, Bond University and the Universities of Canberra and Southern Queensland.

Click here to go to the Australian Journal of Emergency Management, which showcases the research papers presented at the 2008 conference. 

One of our aims is to fund a number of research projects each year for presentation at the annual EMPA conference.  Another aim is to encourage standards of rigour in research in this field that allow the use of this research across the world.  Our research conference papers are double-blind peer-reviewed.

We welcome research ideas and encourage partnerships that might attract further funding through agencies and/or the Australian Research Council.

The 2009-10 Research and Development Committee is:

Co-chair Dr Peter Hughes, LaTrobe University, Melbourne

Anne Leadbeater, Murrindindi Shire Council, Victoria
