Coronavirus (COVID19) response
In response to the coronavirus crisis, FPA Australia is
implementing a strategy to reduce risk to industry members and
staff, ensure service continuity and support members in this
challenging time.
We are also urgently seeking clarification from government about
the status of fire protection work during the evolving business
shutdowns, and working to address challenges faced by fire
protection service providers during the crisis.
