Care settings
Planned around residents who need help to move
Care settings have a different kind of evacuation. Residents may use walkers or wheelchairs, or be in bed. Night shifts often run with fewer staff. Agency staff may be working in the building for the first time, and visitors come and go all day.
Craig has drawn diagrams for aged care, healthcare and community service sites including Little Sisters of the Poor, Mosaic Community Care, Rosewood Care and Ocean Gardens. Each diagram is drawn to AS 3745-2010 and kept simple enough for any staff member to read quickly, on any shift, in any part of the building.
- Diagrams that suit residents with limited mobility
- Support for PEEPs and progressive evacuation thinking
- Sleeping areas covered on every level
- Simple enough for agency and night staff to follow
- Visitor-friendly layouts with a clear You Are Here

What clients say
In their words
Rated 4.9 stars from 85 Google reviews.
We had Craig from CMG attend our facility to deliver Fire Warden training. This is the second time I attended the course, and it never gets old. Craig is extremely professional and knowledgeable. The equipment used to deliver the training is as close as the real thing. I feel that we are in a much better place to deal with an incident if one occurs. I would recommend approaching Craig and his team for training.
Just wanted to let you know that the training we had today with Craig was fantastic.
It was a very good fire warden training session with Craig yesterday on ward 40. Following up on that, myself and the PACU coordinators have done an audit of the recovery area.
CMG have been undertaking the creation of Evacuation Plans for Innovative Support Australia's properties and I am happy to recommend their services. Craig is always helpful, a great communicator and completes work to a high standard and on time.
Interactive self-check
Is your evacuation diagram still compliant?
Six quick checks based on AS 3745-2010 and what Craig sees most often on WA sites.
Does every diagram have a "You Are Here" point that matches where it is mounted?AS 3745-2010 requires the diagram to be oriented to the viewer's position.
Are all current exits and paths of travel shown, with nothing that no longer exists?Blocked, locked or removed doors are the most common failure.
Is the assembly area shown correctly, including any temporary changes?Construction, transportables and new fencing often move it.
Is every extinguisher, hose reel, blanket and alarm point shown where it actually is?Equipment gets relocated during fit-outs and services.
Has the building changed since the diagram was issued?Extensions, new rooms, demountables or a changed use of space.
Is the diagram legible, with a legend, and mounted at the right height?Faded prints and missing legends are non-compliant.
Answer the six checks above
Takes under a minute. We will tell you plainly whether your diagrams are likely to stand up.

Common questions
Straight answers grounded in AS 3745-2010 and WA workplace legislation. Anything else, call Craig.
How do evacuation diagrams work when residents cannot evacuate on their own?
The diagram shows the exits, paths of travel and assembly area. The detail of who helps which resident sits in your emergency plan and each resident’s PEEP. We draw the diagrams to support that plan, including where residents may first be moved to a safer area within the building.
What is a PEEP?
A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) is defined in AS 3745-2010 for an occupant with a disability who may need assistance to evacuate. Your emergency plan must include provisions for these occupants and a record of where PEEPs are held. In aged care, many residents will need one.
Will agency and night staff be able to follow the diagrams?
That is the aim. Each diagram is oriented to where it hangs, with a clear You Are Here marker, simple routes and a plain legend. A staff member on their first night shift should be able to look up and know which way to go.
Do you also provide training for care staff?
Yes. Alongside diagrams, CMG delivers fire warden, chief warden, fire extinguisher and emergency evacuation training. We provide fire training to St John of God Subiaco Hospital, and can tailor sessions to the realities of care settings, including night shifts.
How often do our evacuation diagrams need reviewing?
Under AS 3745-2010 your Emergency Planning Committee nominates a validity period, and the standard’s note says it should not exceed five years. Craig recommends reviewing at least every five years, and straight away after any refurbishment, new wing or change in how rooms are used.
