One Response provides specialist emergency response capability that government and defence can contract, integrate, and rely on.
We do not compete with public systems. We extend them.
The frequency and severity of natural disasters in Australia has increased significantly over the past decade. Cyclone Alfred in March 2025, the 2022 southeast Queensland and New South Wales floods, and the 2019 to 2020 Black Summer bushfires each exposed the limits of public agency surge capacity at scale.
Government and emergency management agencies are being asked to do more, faster, with resources that were not sized for the current risk environment.
The gap between what public systems can sustain and what communities require in a major event is real, growing, and addressable. One Response exists to address that gap.
One Response is designed for partnership with government agencies, emergency management organisations, and defence. Our model is built around integration, not competition. We operate within existing command structures, under your authority, with assets and personnel that can be contracted, scaled, and stood down as the situation demands.
Request a Briefing →One Response integrates with existing incident command structures and public emergency management frameworks. Our personnel operate under your command or autonomously as the situation requires. We bring assets and expertise that extend public capacity without creating parallel authority structures or administrative overhead.
Standing service agreements and seasonal retainer arrangements make it possible to have One Response assets pre-positioned ahead of a high-risk period. Retainer arrangements are structured to align with government procurement frameworks and financial year cycles.
All One Response systems, personnel, and platforms are Australian-sovereign. Our drone fleet is Blue UAS-approved, making it suitable for deployment in sensitive government and defence environments where foreign-manufactured systems are not permitted.
One Response scales to the event. A Drone as a Service deployment can be a single RPAS-certified pilot on-site in hours. A full multi-domain activation brings air, ground, and water assets with incident command infrastructure at the scene.
A government procurement reader needs a reference event. Below is a summary of One Response's role in the Cyclone Alfred recovery operations in March 2025.
A standing retainer positions One Response assets and personnel in a state of pre-activated readiness for a defined period. No call-out delay when the team is already activated.
A scoped engagement for a defined event, project, or operational period. Can be structured at short notice where the operational requirement is clearly defined.
