“The State of the Emergency Services Sector in Australia (Part 1)” - Influence Me Podcast - Season 3 - Episode 5

Are you interested in how effective our emergency services really are? In this three-part conversation, Bruce Byatt AFSM — former senior executive and long-time leader in the sector — joins me to unpack what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to evolve. We explore: ✅ Vision, Mission & Strategy — are they still fit for purpose? ✅ Resource-to-risk balance — are we getting it right? ✅ The political interface — interacting with ministers and their teams ✅ Is Response the King of PPRR? (Prevention, Preparedness, Response & Recovery) ✅ Organisational culture and operational safety ✅ The complex world of stakeholder and industrial relations A thoughtful, candid look at how emergency services can better serve their communities — and what leadership in this space really takes. Please enjoy Part 1. Part 2 and 3 will be released in the near future. #InfluenceMePodcast #Leadership #EmergencyServices #PublicSafety #PublicValue #IR #OperationalSafety
