The Minerals Council of Australia – Northern Territory Division (MCA NT) proudly hosts the Northern Australia Emergency Response Competition (NAERC), a premier training event that tests and strengthens the skills of emergency response teams.
Over two days, teams face realistic, high-pressure scenarios across the following disciplines:
- Firefighting
- Rescue from heights
- Hazardous materials
- Breathing apparatus search and rescue
- First aid
- Road accident rescue
- Optional underground search and rescue for specialist teams
NAERC is more than a competition. It is a learning environment where experienced and new responders work side by side, building confidence and capability under pressure.
The event is made possible thanks to the outstanding support of sponsors and the dedication of volunteers, whose commitment ensures a safe, professional and highly respected competition year after year.
