The EMT Toolbox is an initiative designed to assist teams navigating the classification process, offering a practical digital resource to help you meet and exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) Minimum Standards.
Key elements from the WHO Emergency Medical Team (EMT) Blue Book have been incorporated, outlining the minimum standards teams should achieve to ensure quality patient care during emergencies.
Refer to the WHO Emergency Medical Team (EMT) Blue Book for full details of EMT minimum standards.
The EMT Toolbox reflects years of dedicated effort, with AUSMAT's classification evolving since 2010, showcasing an ongoing commitment to developing and refining capabilities. AUSMAT was classified as a WHO EMT Type 2 capability in 2015 and reverified in 2023. AUSMAT has Type 2, Type 1, Type 1 Mobile and Specialist Cell capabilities.
Insights gained throughout the process are shared to support other teams in their development journey.
The EMT Toolbox provides essential tools and resources tailored for EMTs, ensuring teams are well-prepared and compliant with international guidelines. It remains a work in progress with regular updates and additions as content is document or developed. Regular visits are encouraged and feedback is welcome via email if any content appears missing. Credit to AUSMAT and the NCCTRC is respectfully requested if and content is used for development purposes.
The NCCTRC hopes that other classified teams across the globe will join in sharing their capabilities to support the future development of both International and national teams. Opportunities to showcase team capabilities for others to learn from are welcomed.
