> Moving Forward Bushfire Recovery Services Moving Forward
On 4 March 2004, the ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope announced
changes to the delivery of bushfire recovery services in the
ACT.
The ACT Government has moved the bushfire recovery process
forward by integrating services that were provided
by the Recovery Centre and the Taskforce Secretariat into
mainstream community and public service agencies.
These include ACT Health, the Department of Disability,
Housing and Community Services, Urban Services, ACT Planning
and Land Authority, Relationships
Australia, Woden Community Services and Communities @ Work.
The recovery process is being supported by a new area in the
Chief Minister’s Department, Bushfire Support Unit.
The Bushfire Support Unit provides support for bushfire-affected
residents in the following area:
- emotional, social, family and health;
- rebuilding assistance and advice;
- practical assistance including financial support and counselling;
and
- rural services, environmental advice and information.
