Robert Cameron, EMA

"As Director-General, one of my jobs is to ensure we get as much leverage as we can from the other public safety capabilities that make up the still relatively new Home Affairs portfolio to ensure Australian communities are as safe and secure as they can be. That’s why we’re here.

"More generally, EMA’s enduring strategic intent continues: working to ensure that Australian communities are afforded the best service, support and guidance in preparing for, responding to and recovering from, all sources of risk and threat"
