In Australia, the Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System (AIIMS) is the nationally recognised[citation needed] system of organizational principles and structure used to manage wildfires and other large emergencies. AIIMS is an application of Incident Command System, a robust, scalable and widely applicable system for dealing with all manner of complex incidents and emergencies.
AIIMS was introduced by the Australian fire authorities in the mid 1980s but has since been adopted by the various State Emergency Services and a number of other public safety organisations.
