Save as many lives as possible from those at risk | 100% | 99% | Amber | 94.8% | Amber | 97% | Amber | 99% | Amber |
RATIONALE: Measures the effectiveness of AMSA’s overall search and rescue coordination capability and management of search and rescue assets to respond to persons who are at risk within the Australian search and rescue region. | |||||||||
ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE: AMSA’s intention is to save all lives at risk during distress incidents. In practice, the circumstances surrounding individual incidents affect the possibility of success of the search and rescue and achieving 100% is not expected. Circumstances such as severe medical conditions or a person overboard in the offshore environment without safety equipment, locating device and/or in poor sea and weather conditions who is not immediately recovered, significantly reduce timeframes for survivability. | |||||||||

FOOTNOTE: The measure has been updated to better reflect the desired outcome and AMSA’s responsibilities. Each search and rescue (SAR) incident reported to AMSA is triaged to assess the requirement to respond to a life at risk. Sometimes the assessment concludes that the life has already been lost, or AMSA is unable to determine if a life is actually at risk, i.e. inadvertent beacon activations. For those incidents which are assessed as requiring a rescue—i.e. a life is identified as being ‘at risk’—it is important that AMSA measures the performance of resources available to AMSA to effect a rescue. | |||||||||
PERFORMANCE CRITERION | TARGET (min) | RESULTS | |||||||
3.2.2 | 2016-17 | 2017-18 | 2018-19 | 2019-20 | |||||
Median time (minutes) for AMSA to receive, assess and, if required, to initiate a response. | 10 or less | 27 | Green | 26 | Green | 24 | Green | 2.6 | Green |
RATIONALE: Measures the effectiveness and use of AMSA resources to apply a capability to assess actions required and initiate a response, if appropriate, for reportable incidents. | |||||||||
ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE: Measure target reduced from 30 minutes to 10 minutes as response activities commence immediately upon receipt of notification and may not involve the tasking of assets. | |||||||||

For incidents that AMSA has SAR coordination responsibility, the median time (minutes) for an asset to be on-scene is: | |||||||||
Day | 150 or less | 103 | Green | 110 | Green | 88 | Green | 94 | Green |
Night | 180 or less | 135 | Green | 141 | Green | 120 | Green | 123 | Green |
RATIONALE: Demonstrates that assets are in the right place on time. Also reflects performance against international on-scene response time standards | |||||||||
ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE: AMSA continues to perform within our target times for having assets on scene for a search and rescue incident | |||||||||
