The team has two independently functioning management systems, one for operations and Team Structure and Leadership

The team operates under two complementary structures — one for operations and one for administration.

Operational leadership, including command during incidents and coordination of training, follows a traditional hierarchy led by the team leader and deputy team leaders, who are elected annually. During callouts, trained search managers may assume control of specific incidents.

On the hill, each party is led by a party leader and includes a nominated medic. At a casualty site, a resources marshal manages equipment and personnel to ensure efficient operations.

The administrative management committee oversees governance, fundraising, and logistics, supported by specialist officers responsible for equipment, vehicles, headquarters and medical coordination.
