Reward Resilience

Our Bushfire Resilience Star Rating program recognises and rewards resilience to help you achieve; lower insurance premiums, improved property values and rental returns.

Strong Communities

Resilient communities avoid or reduce disaster impacts, and provide a sustainable environment for residents, investors and future generations.

The social and economic costs of bushfire are increasing in Australia. Urgent measures are required to avoid and reduce this unaffordable liability to current and future generations.

Economic costs of disasters in Australia, per year: $18.2 billion0%

Federal natural disaster resilience budget: $56 million (2016/2017)0%

We lost 116 homes, including mine, in the 2015 Wye River bushfire. I hope that other communities can avoid such devastation through the Bushfire Resilience Star Rating Project.

As a former fire fighter, I can only hope that property owners and whole communities adopt the Bushfire Resilience Star Rating program, preparedness will absolutely reduce life and property losses.

We got a Star Rating assessment for our home and have already undertaken the prevention works to get a higher Star Rating. Now we know much more about what to do to to prepare for bushfire.
