Emergency Management Experts

Our journey in emergency management began long before Messana Group was formally established. Since 1999, our founder has been immersed in the emergency management industry—gaining hands-on experience across both Australia and New Zealand.

Growing up in Taranaki, New Zealand, earthquakes were a regular occurrence. Watching the house wobble during seismic events created an early understanding of how real emergencies affect real people—and how important it is to be prepared.

This Trans-Tasman experience—spanning over 25 years across both countries—provides Messana Group with unique insight into emergency management practices across Australasia. We understand the similarities and differences in regulatory frameworks, workplace cultures, and emergency risks on both sides of the Tasman.

In 2016, Messana Group was formally established with a clear purpose: to bridge the gap between emergency compliance requirements and genuine workplace preparedness. We had seen too many organisations treat emergency management as a paperwork exercise. Evacuation diagrams gathered dust on walls. Fire extinguishers sat unused and unfamiliar. Employees hoped they would never need to act because they were not confident they could.

We knew there was a better way. From our first training session, we committed to practical, hands-on emergency education that transforms uncertain employees into confident responders. Not because regulations demand it, but because people's safety depends on it.

Ten years later, that commitment remains unchanged. What has changed is our reach. From a single Queensland office, we have grown to serve organisations across Australia and New Zealand with locations in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT, South Australia, Western Australia, and Auckland.
