Core Modules

Every tool your station needs, in one place.

From member registration to equipment tracking — every Core module is active and fully connected. Included in every subscription.

Live

Member Management

Full member registry with custom roles, rank, secure email invites, and join codes. Manage groups and availability in one place.

Live

Qualifications & Compliance

Track every ticket, certification, and endorsement. Automatic expiry alerts ensure your members are always cleared to deploy before the callout hits.

Live

Shift Rostering

Build shift templates, auto-fill rosters based on qualifications and availability, manage leave requests, and handle shift swaps — all in one module.

Live

Equipment & Assets

Log every piece of gear with service history, location, and condition status. BA sets, hoses, stock — nothing falls through the cracks.

Live

Fleet Management

Track your vehicles from fuel logs to scheduled services. Know which appliances are available before you assign them to a response.

Live

Facilities

Manage station rooms, training venues, and shared spaces. Handle bookings and maintenance records without the back-and-forth.

Live

Station Kiosk

Mount an iPad at the door. Members tap their name to sign in instantly — no passwords, no paperwork, no delays getting out the door.

Live

Inspections & Audits

Run structured checklists for vehicle, equipment, and facility inspections. Capture faults and generate compliance reports in seconds.

Command Modules

Operational command when it counts.

Real-time dispatch and incident control — included in every subscription at no extra cost.

Live

Dispatch Board

Live kanban-style dispatch board showing active incidents, assigned resources, and unit availability at a glance.

Live

Incident Control

Log responses from the moment tones drop. Record resources, actions taken, and outcomes for every incident — ready for agency reporting.

Cross-module intelligence

Everything talks to everything else.

Ready4ResQ isn't a collection of disconnected tools. Every module shares data — so when you auto-fill a roster, it checks qualifications. When you approve leave, it flags the roster gap. When a member signs in at the kiosk, attendance flows to compliance automatically.

  • Roster auto-fill checks qualification validity before assigning anyone
  • Leave approvals automatically flag gaps in the weekly roster
  • Kiosk sign-ins feed directly into compliance attendance records
  • Equipment service alerts surface on the member dashboard
  • Expiring qualifications trigger alerts before the member is deployed
  • Fleet availability is visible on the dispatch board in real time

Pricing

Free. Hosting is the only thing we sell.

No per-seat fees, no feature tiers, and no demo call before you can see a price.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every feature, unlimited members, no time limit. It's AGPL-3.0 licensed — you can read the code, change it and run it yourself forever.

What's the catch?

You run the server. If that's not something you want to do, pay us to host it. That's the only thing we charge for.

Is the self-hosted version cut down?

No. It is the same software with the same features. Nothing is held back to push you toward hosting.

Can I move between them later?

Yes, in both directions. It's your database either way, so you can export it and take it with you.

Licensed under AGPL-3.0. Hosting billed in AUD.

Built for the frontline

Purpose-built for volunteers, not corporations.

Most station admin software is designed for 9-to-5 corporate teams with dedicated IT staff. Ready4ResQ is built for the people who show up in the middle of the night — time-poor, mobile, and focused on the job.

  • Designed by active volunteers who know what time-poor operations actually look like.
  • Every module is cross-linked — rostering checks qualifications, kiosk feeds attendance, compliance pulls from both.
  • Flat-rate pricing. No per-seat fees. Add unlimited members at no extra cost.
  • Neutral by design — works for CFA, SES, VFES, SJA, and any volunteer emergency service organisation.
