About what we do

Training & services to increase fire preparedness and protect biodiversity

Our focus is on reducing future disaster risk and increasing the resilience of landscapes, townships and communities to bushfire.

Healthy Land & Water is recognised as the premier organisation for fire training, advisory services, planning and related support. We deliver a suite of popular fire preparedness offerings including capacity building training, advice, planning & services. 
 
We’re rolling out these services across the region for landholders, community and stakeholders to upskill in the latest best practices to get properties and townships and communities better prepared. 
 
Our fire offerings are a great way to access decision support tools and guidance materials to equip you with essential knowledge and tools for effective fire management and biodiversity conservation.
 
While the program was developed right here in South East Queensland, we do build tailored offerings for other regions across Queensland in partnership with the region's NRM group. We tailor our delivery to the local area.
