Aged care homes house residents who may have limited mobility, sensory impairment, or cognitive conditions, which makes emergency planning and clear evacuation diagrams critical. Current diagrams drawn to AS 3745 show exit routes, fire equipment, and assembly points, and aged care evacuation usually relies on staff-assisted, stage-by-stage approaches.
Why aged care need diagrams
- Residents often cannot self-evacuate and need staff-assisted egress
- Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) are needed for residents with high support needs
- Many facilities use progressive horizontal evacuation and defend-in-place strategies
- Aged care is closely regulated and regularly audited for fire safety
- Wings, additions, and refurbishments change layouts and exit routes
Where to install diagrams
- Each wing or house near the fire and smoke doors
- Nursing stations and staff areas
- Resident lounges, dining, and activity rooms
- Near each fire stair and exit
- Kitchen, laundry, and plant areas
Common challenges
Aged care evacuation is rarely a simple walk to the exit. It involves moving residents who cannot move quickly, using fire and smoke compartments to shelter in place or move horizontally first, and coordinating staff. Diagrams need to support that approach by clearly showing compartments, refuge areas, and the staged route, and they need to stay current as the home is extended or refurbished.
How EvacPath helps
- Work from your floor plans or facility drawings
- Show fire and smoke compartments, refuge areas, and staged exit routes to AS 3745

“We were fitting out a new clinic and needed evacuation diagrams before opening. John drew them from our architect's plan, no site visit needed, and the first draft was with us within days. Really easy.”
“We needed five evacuation plans for a client's three-level office fit-out. John drew them from the designer's as-built drawings, no site visit, and the set went to our client the day it arrived. John was responsive, proactive and extremely clear in communication. Extremely pleased with the process and delivered product. Would highly recommend to any landlord or facilities management teams.”
Aged Care FAQ
How do diagrams support staff-assisted and defend-in-place evacuation?
Aged care evacuation often moves residents into an adjoining fire compartment first (progressive horizontal evacuation) rather than straight outside. The diagram shows the fire and smoke doors, compartment boundaries, refuge areas, and the staged route so staff can follow the plan under pressure. The diagram works alongside the facility emergency plan and resident PEEPs.
Do residents need individual PEEPs as well as diagrams?
The building evacuation diagrams and individual Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans do different jobs. The diagram shows the building-wide routes and equipment; a PEEP documents how a specific resident will be moved and who assists. Aged care facilities generally need both, and we can produce the building diagrams that the PEEPs reference.
How many diagrams does an aged care home need?
It depends on the number of wings, floors, and compartments. A single-storey home might need a set per wing plus shared areas, while a multi-storey facility usually has at least one per floor near each fire stair plus the staged-route detail. Send the floor plans and we recommend placement and confirm the count before any work starts.
