In short

ISO 22301 certification in Geelong at a glance

A fuel tanker can only leave the Geelong refinery if the site, the roads and the systems behind it keep working, and a bulk ship can only load at Corio Quay if the port, the pilots and the road links do the same. Avalon Airport, operating 24/7 with domestic and international cargo, adds another dependency for the distributors and defence-linked tenants nearby. ISO 22301 gives those businesses a certifiable method to prepare: a business impact analysis, defined recovery objectives, response and recovery plans with named roles, and a cycle of exercises and review. Sterling's Sydney office runs the analysis with your operations team, writes plans people can follow under pressure, facilitates exercises and prepares you for the audit by an accredited certification body.

What drives ISO 22301 in Geelong

Demand is buyer-led: ISO 22301 is asked for in customer, principal or tender terms rather than by a Geelong council or precinct rule.

Requirements

What ISO 22301 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 22301 requires a company to prove six things about how it keeps operating when something goes wrong.

You know what must keep runningA business impact analysis identifies your priority activities and how quickly each one must be resumed after disruption.
Leadership owns continuityTop management sets continuity policy and objectives, assigns roles and backs the programme with people and budget.
You assessed what could disrupt youRisks of disruption to priority activities, and to the resources they depend on, are assessed and treated.
Plans are written and readyResponse and recovery plans, and a defined incident response structure, exist for the scenarios that matter most to you.
You have tested themPlans are exercised, and lessons from exercises and real incidents are fed back into them.
You keep the programme currentContinuity performance is evaluated, internal audits and management reviews take place, and the programme improves over time.

ISO 22301 in Geelong: questions clients ask

Why do Geelong energy and port operators look at ISO 22301?

Because their customers depend on continuous supply. A refinery outage or a port interruption affects fuel distribution and bulk exports well beyond Geelong. ISO 22301 gives a disciplined way to analyse impact, set recovery objectives and test responses. It is requested through contracts and customers, not by a Geelong rule.

Could Avalon Airport tenants benefit from ISO 22301?

Operators that run around the clock and serve national distribution customers can, since delays cascade quickly. Certification is optional and depends on what customers ask. Even without a certificate, an impact analysis and tested recovery plan often answers a customer's continuity questionnaire.
