The purpose of the Queensland Health Disaster Plan is to provide the principles, standards and structures which govern and optimise a coordinated health response to an emergency incident or disaster event. The document covers prevention, preparedness, response and recovery phases.
The scope of the plan includes all Queensland Health entities. It can be used to support other states and territories and, at the request of the Australian Government, can be used for the deployment and coordination of overseas responses.
