Emergency and Critical Incident Management Planning

International students

Schools accredited to host international students through the International Student Program (ISP) have additional obligations to support the safety of overseas students under their care. Refer to International Students Program.

Schools involved in this program must include international students in their EMP in the following sections.

Facility profile

• School Facility Profile tab: indicate that the school hosts international students in the Additional Profile Information section
• Additional Needs Profile tab: select International students from the drop-down menu under Category, and indicate the number of international students currently enrolled

Contacts

• Emergency Contacts tab: ensure the school’s International Student Coordinator contact details are listed

Risk assessment (level 2 accredited schools only)

• Select 'Disruption to homestay arrangements' from drop down menu under Identified hazards, then review and contextualise risk controls, assessment, rating and treatments to be implemented according to the school’s context

Response procedures

• Core response procedures: review each core procedure and add the following text where appropriate as a step: 'If the incident involves or impacts international students, ensure International Student Coordinator is alerted, as well as the International Education Division if required. Ensure homestay provider, DHA approved relative and parents are contacted as required.'
• Specific Response Procedures (level 2 accredited schools only): if Disruption to homestay arrangements has been selected in Risk Assessment section, confirm that corresponding response procedure appears in this section. Review and update to ensure content aligns with school’s context
