The National Health Disaster Management Capability Audit 2005 (2005 Audit) is the second in a series of national capability audits undertaken by the Australian Health Protection Committee (AHPC), previously the Australian Health Disaster Management Policy Committee (AHDMPC), to provide a national assessment of health assets that may be employed in a health disaster. The first National Health Disaster Management Capability Audit was carried out in 2003 (2003 Audit). In 2005 the AHDMPC agreed it was timely to undertake the second audit.
