This Framework and the Handbook are reviewed annually. A comprehensive review will occur every 5 years, as well as following significant or novel crises. An administrative review will be conducted in all other years and may be prompted by machinery of government changes.

The appropriate Deputy Secretary PM&C maintains editorial control over the Framework on behalf of the Australian Government. Updates to the Framework will be coordinated by PM&C in close consultation with NEMA and other Australian Government agencies. Updates to the Framework will be released prior to the annual Higher Risk Weather Season and, where necessary, updates may be issued outside this cycle. It is intended that wherever possible, changes to the Framework will be avoided during extended periods of high operational activity.
