Suncorp : Supporting the next generation of Indigenous Fire Practitioners

Suncorp Group has announced its Community Partnership with Firesticks Alliance Indigenous Corporation; a not-for-profit organisation that enhances the cultural and natural values of people and Country through conservation, cultural fire, and land management practices.

The partnership will support Firesticks' new certification and assessment framework. This will ensure the safety of people and Country, leaving a legacy of recognised and culturally certified Indigenous Fire Practitioners, able to support increasing cultural fire mentoring and training in communities.

"Australia has a long and devasting history with bushfires," said Suncorp Group CEO Steve Johnston. "We may not be able to prevent them, but we need to do more to protect communities and reduce the impacts."
