Overview
Effective incident investigation is essential to preventing recurrence, protecting reputation and strengthening governance. Drowning Prevention Australia conducts independent investigations using ICAM, a recognised systems-based methodology that examines what occurred, why it occurred and how organisational controls can be improved. Our approach analyses supervision, operations, environment and communication systems to deliver clear, defensible findings aligned with legislation and aquatic best practice.
Conducting objective, structured investigations that ensure procedural fairness, preserve evidence integrity and provide clear factual analysis.

Root Cause & Human Factors
Providing independent expert opinions, court-ready reports and professional testimony aligned with recognised aquatic industry standards and regulatory requirements.
