About Us

Fire to Flourish aims to build resilience in communities affected by the 2019/20 bushfires and which experience entrenched disadvantage. The Program brings together a consortium of partners with the University’s interdisciplinary research capabilities to work over 5 years with these communities through community-led processes to build resilience and develop the connections and leadership to shape a thriving future. Fire to Flourish will develop inclusive, participatory and evidence-based innovations for strengthening resilience across social, built, natural, institutional and economic domains. The Program has a significant focus on supporting communities to lead their own local initiatives and connect with each other to create the capacity, conditions and solutions for their long-term resilience. The underlying principles for the program are to: be community-led; foreground Aboriginal wisdom; enhance inclusion and self-determination; be strengths-based and trauma-informed; be holistic and impactful; learn, adapt and evolve.
