To gain the full benefit of the program and develop a comprehensive understanding of bushfire preparedness, participants are expected to attend all four consecutive sessions.

Created specifically for women, the program provides a safe, supportive, and non-threatening environment to learn practical skills that can help protect families, homes, and livelihoods.

Across the four sessions, participants will explore:

  • Preparing emotionally for bushfire events
  • Understanding bushfire danger ratings and warnings
  • Deciding when to “leave early” or “stay and defend”
  • Developing a Bushfire Survival Plan
  • Identifying hazards around the home
  • Operating pumps and firefighting equipment
  • Understanding bushfire behaviour

The sessions are designed to build on one another, providing a complete and practical approach to bushfire preparedness.
