Queensland's Department of Emergency Services is unique in Australia. The agency provides services covering all phases of emergency and disaster management - prevention, preparedness, response and recovery - delivered by fire, ambulance and Emergency Management Queensland across a single portfolio.

The single agency structure provides significant advantages and benefits to the community. These benefits occur at many levels, from having single-point ministerial accountability for emergency services, through to the invaluable cooperation and coordination of operational staff in communities during emergencies and disasters.

The Emergency Services portfolio employs 7100 full-time and part-time employees, and is supported by more than 85,000 volunteers across Queensland. The Department of Emergency Services provides support to a range of organisations that contribute to disaster management as follows:

Local Governments
Community Councils
Disaster Districts
State Government Departments and Agencies
Select Non-Government Organisations
Committees and Groups with Disaster Management Functions

The portfolio incorporates Queensland Fire and Rescue Service , Queensland Ambulance Service, and Emergency Management Queensland. The public service divisions of Business Support Services and Strategic and Executive Services provide strategic and business support to the operational services and volunteers.
