What our clients say

We have been working with Cheryl Hambly for more than 6 years to develop and maintain our critical incident management program. We have particularly enjoyed Bounce Readiness’s unique approach to training and exercising, which offers a fresh approach to professional incident preparedness. Bounce staff are passionate, responsive, and highly approachable and available to support us as needed, which is why we will continue to partner with them for our incident and business continuity services.

Regis Aged Care engaged Bounce Readiness to help get our NDIS certification preparedness back on track after several areas of potential non-compliance were identified very close to our audit date. In a very short time frame, Bounce assessed our existing arrangements, identified key improvements to achieve compliance, developed a project plan and then assisted the whole Regis team with implementing the necessary changes and improvements. Bounce’s attention to detail, responsiveness, consistent communications, positive engagement approach to upskill our staff and structured project management framework were key to achieving our successful recertification. No task was too difficult and everything was approached with a can-do and solution focussed attitude. We would recommend Bounce Readiness as a partner of choice with compliance-based project management services and wouldn’t hesitate to engage them again.

Loreto Normanhurst has exclusively used Bounce Readiness for our emergency management and critical incident management preparedness, since their inception in 2020. In that time, we have undertaken comprehensive planning and preparedness activities, to ensure that we are ready for any eventuality we may face. We value their expertise, particularly in delivering Emergency and Critical Incident Management education and exercises that test our plans and prepare our team for any potential incidents we may face.

Barker College has used Bounce Readiness for our emergency management and critical incident management planning and preparedness since 2020. In that time we have developed and implemented new emergency response plans for our campuses, and implemented a training and testing program which includes face to face training, eLearning design, evacuation drills and lockdown drills. Bounce Readiness has also been extremely helpful in delivering quality evacuation diagrams to buildings across our sites. We have found Bounce Readiness to be professional, engaging, knowledgeable and committed to helping us build resilience in emergency and critical incident management. We have enjoyed their training and exercises, which is reflected in the high participation rate by our staff.

Kinross Wolaroi School chose Bounce Readiness as its provider for emergency and critical incident management, due to their experience working in this industry. Following the development of new Emergency Response and Critical Incident Management Plans, Kinross Wolaroi School and Bounce have implemented a thorough training program for wardens, including Chief Warden, Warden, Reception/Call Taker, general staff emergency awareness training, boarding staff along with Critical Incident Management training for our leadership team. Our plans and training were then put to the test, with life-like emergency drills and real-world critical incident scenarios being used to prove our readiness. We look forward to continuing to work with Bounce Readiness.
