How CASA is evolving operational standards and regulatory frameworks to support the real-world deployment of UAVs across emergency response and public safety operations.

  • Standardising operations to enable consistent, safe UAV use across fire, police, SES, and border agencies.
  • Enabling rapid deployment by aligning rules and approvals with the realities of time-critical emergency operations.
  • Managing shared airspace to support simultaneous crewed and uncrewed aircraft in complex response environments.
  • Building operational assurance through clear standards for training, procedures, and ongoing compliance.
