AIDER
The AIDER program is run by the Rural Fire Service to assist you to be prepared for a bush fire. It is a once off, free service for people, living in bush fire prone areas, who have a disability or who are aged. If you have limited domestic support, AIDER services may also include clearing gutters, clearing up to 30m around the property and slashing of long grass.Phone

How do I use it?
When you contact AIDER, you will be assessed for eligibility by phone. A member of your local Rural Fire Service team will then contact you to organise a suitable time to undertake a physical assessment of your property to provide advice about completing your bush fire survival plan. The timeframe from initial phone call to the work being done can be some weeks.
