Educator Alert | Emergency procedures

Emergency closure procedures

In the lead up to the festive season and the Enhance Family Day Care office closures, it is vitally important to ensure you are supported and prepared in the event of an emergency. 

The Enhance FDC offices will be closed from Saturday 24 December 2022, to Sunday 8 January 2023, in celebration of the holiday season. If you experience an emergency during this closure period, please contact us via our emergency number, 07 3899 1655. 

Emergency situations include: 

Non-emergency situations include:

The on call process for the holiday season involves:

  1. Confirm the event as an emergency situation by referring to the above list. 
  2. Contact the Enhance emergency number (07 3899 1655).
  3. Explain the situation and await assistance regarding appropriate action.

If an emergency was to occur i.e. a bushfire or flood, Enhance Family Day Care will make the decision to close a service, if schools in the area are also closed. If you have received an order to evacuate, or other warnings from an emergency service, please evacuate immediately and inform your Enhance service as soon as it is safe to do so.

In the event of an emergency, our primary concern is to ensure you, all children, families and the local community are safe. If our office is ordered to evacuate, you will receive an email from us informing you of our whereabouts.


Bushfires and Asthma
Smoke from bushfires is a common trigger among children and adults with respiratory conditions, like asthma. In the event of an emergency, such as bushfires, it is vital to understand the risks and know how to take appropriate action. Asthma Australia has some helpful tips on how to minimise the effect of bushfire smoke, which can be accessed by clicking the button below:

Taking care this storm season
With storm and cyclone season approaching, it is important to know what to do in the event of a natural disaster, this includes having emergency kits and plans in place.
If you require assistance, please contact your Service.

For general information and resources on how to stay safe during a storm, please visit the Queensland Government's Get Ready Queensland website by clicking the button below:
