Cardinia Hills Youth Fire Readiness Program

The Cardinia Hills Youth Fire Readiness Project was a behavioural change program designed to enable peer led cultural change in the attitudes and readiness of local youth towards fire safety. It sought to build skills, values and capacity of young people to encourage a pro fire safety culture. The areas in which participants lived included some of the most heavily impacted areas of the Ash Wednesday fires in 1983.
