1 Critical Incident Policy and Procedure Purpose: This document outlines AICL policy, support mechanisms and procedures for managing a critical incident. This policy will ensure that AICL has: An effective approach in responding to critical incidents as they occur; Appropriate support and counselling services available to those affected; Appropriate training and information resources provided to staff. Relationship to the National Code Under Standard 6.4 of the National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students, the registered provider must have a documented critical incident policy together with procedures that covers the action to be taken in the event of a critical incident, required follow-up to the incident, and records of the incident and action taken.. Definition: A critical incident is defined by the National Code as a traumatic event, or the threat of such (within or outside Australia), which causes extreme stress, fear or injury. Critical incidents are not limited to, but could include: o missing students; o severe verbal or psychological aggression; o death, serious injury or any threat of these; o natural disaster; and o Issues such as domestic violence, sexual assault, drug or alcohol abuse. Non-life threatening events could still qualify as critical incidents/accidents.

3 Recording and Reporting The Educational Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act) requires AICL to notify the Department of Education as soon as practical after a critical incident involving an international student. In the case of a student's death or other absence affecting the student's attendance and course progression, the incident will need to be reported via the Provider Registration and International Student Management System (PRISMS). The incident will be recorded using the Critical Incident form. Appropriate Managers will log on the Continuous Improvement Register any initiative relating to the prevention of the incident or any action. On-campus Incidents If the incident is on campus, the first action will be to contact the emergency services - fire, ambulance or police as would be the case with other Workplace Health and Safety matters. The Managing Director must also be contacted immediately when the incident involves death, serious injury or a threat to life or property. Off-campus Incidents If the critical incident involves a student and is off-campus, the person receiving the information must immediately contact the Managing Director. Out of normal business hours Incidents If the incident occurs during out of normal business hours the student should contact AICL on the After Hours Emergency Contact Number. After Hours Emergency Contact Number : Jin Heung Yang - CEO Key Details to be Reported Key details to report include the time, location and nature of the incident (e.g. threat, accident, death or injury), names and roles of persons involved. The Coordinating Team/Group At the initial meeting, the task of the group is to: Create for themselves a clear understanding of the known facts. Plan an immediate response. Plan ongoing strategies. Allocate individual roles/responsibilities for ongoing tasks. Critical Incident Policy V Page 3 of 5

Where did it happen? Who was involved? Who needs assistance? What is the most appropriate intervention? 3. If Emergency Support Services such as fire, ambulance or police are required Dial In the case that it is decided that evacuation is an appropriate intervention, the evacuation procedure should be utilized. 5. Arrange a time and place for an initial group/individual debriefing session with Counselors.
