BURN Foundation of Australia - Improving the lives of BURN survivors

With medical advances in research and burn injury treatment, we are seeing a growing number of people survive what has been described as the largest insult the human body can endure. People with a severe burn injury often feel very uncertain about their future. The shock of aggressive treatment and possible disfigurement can turn their world upside down, leaving them to feel helpless and alone. With support comes independence, without it the trauma lasts a lifetime!

The BURN Foundation of Australia is a not-for-profit registered charity dedicated to making a difference to the lives of burn survivors and their families. The BURN Foundation offers assistance with psychosocial issues on how to fit back into the community, supports counseling and educational programmes, funds research and provides forums where burn survivors and their families can share their experiences.

FireWise communities experience fewer fires and fewer fire-related deaths, injuries and property losses. The NSW Rural Fire Service is committed to working with the community to bring about a self sufficient and fire safe community. FireWise is the approach used by the Rural Fire Service to educate the community about fire and fire safety. The FireWise program is run by RFS members trained in community education techniques. Information and advice is given on bush fire behaviour, personal safety and identifying hazards and ways to treat them.
