General Information

Overview

The threat of terrorism is a high priority for state and federal law enforcement, emergency response organisations and emergency medical response services in Australia. This unit will provide you with foundational knowledge of the definition of terrorism and the terrorism threat landscape in Australia. You will explore terrorist organisations, ideologies, capabilities, and attack vectors, as well as the complexity of contemporary layered attack methodologies used by these groups. Additionally, you will analyse and discuss Australian open-source federal and state policies related to the response, management, and recovery from terrorist attacks. Finally, you will be introduced to the intersection of operationalised medical and emergency response.
