We are hosting the Chamber of Minerals and Energy WA (CME) 2026 Surface Mines Emergency Rescue Competition (SMERC)

Members of the public are invited to watch 16 teams drawn from operations across WA put their emergency response skills to the test in a high-pressure environment designed to ensure they are ready to act if real-life disaster strikes.

2-day passes will be available! We encourage you to attend as this is also the first time the competition has been open to the public since 2022.
