Safety and Risk Management

Bundanon Trust has a detailed and comprehensive Risk Management Policy for schools. This policy complies with government guidelines. School groups visiting Bundanon Trust are required to undergo a detailed induction at Bundanon and Riversdale upon arrival. For each school visit, the Risk Management Policy needs to be downloaded, read by both the school Principal and the Designated Coordinator.

AFTER HOURS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

In the case of a medical or other emergency for Police, Fire or Ambulance please dial 000. Bundanon Trust’s Risk Management Policy recommends that all medical emergencies should be handled by calling 000 to obtain the services of an Ambulance. The response time for definitive medical help by Ambulance is approximately 25 minutes. Bundanon Trust does not recommend that visiting groups transport those needing emergency medical assistance themselves.

Bundanon has a back to base emergency monitoring system. In the case of other emergencies, the monitoring company, EPW Security will make contact with Bundanon Trust staff members who will attend the site.
