This presentation will provide an update on the Bushfire Department’s recent activities, key achievements, and strategic initiatives within FPA Australia. We will outline our planned projects for the next 12 months, focusing on bushfire risk management, training programs, policy advocacy, and industry engagement.
A critical focus will be the urgent need to address mandatory accreditation requirements across Australia. Ensuring a consistent and high standard of competency for bushfire practitioners is essential to improving fire protection and community resilience. We will discuss current challenges, progress toward national accreditation, and how members can contribute to shaping these requirements.
We also seek input from members on what they want to see from FPA Australia’s Bushfire Department, including priorities for policy development, industry support, and new initiatives. Your feedback is crucial in driving meaningful change and strengthening the profession.
