Contracting other DAMP or emergency organisations exemptions

If you're a drug and alcohol management program (DAMP) organisation and you want to contract with another DAMP organisation, you can do this under sections 8 and 9 of CASA EX56/23.

Under this exemption you can:

  • contract employees from another DAMP organisation without having to apply your DAMP to the contractors
  • contract emergency services personnel during an emergency without having to apply your DAMP to the contractors.

Getting the exemption

You don't need to apply for this exemption, but you must meet the requirements in CASA EX56/23.

Note: Sections 4 to 7 of CASA EX56/23 relate to the DAMP exemption for micro-businesses.

If you have any questions about DAMPs, exemptions and reporting, contact us.
