The BPAD Handbook
The Bushfire Planning
and Design (BPAD) Accreditation Scheme requires practitioners to
demonstrate they meet specific competency requirements appropriate
to the level of accreditation being applied for.
A separate process of
accreditation applies for each state and territory where the BPAD
Accreditation Scheme has been launched.
A handbook has been
produced to assist current bushfire consultants and those members
of other professions aspiring to enter the field of bushfire
consultancy services with a comprehensive understanding of the BPAD
Accreditation Scheme for each jurisdiction and how to become a BPAD
Accredited Practitioner.
The handbook contains
information that:
- Is relevant for new applicants as well as those who are already
accredited; and
- Contains information about the operation of the BPAD Scheme
including the requirements for:
- Gaining accreditation;
- The application process for new applicants; and
- The ongoing requirements of existing accredited
practitioners.
For further
information on the BPAD Accreditation Scheme and the application
process required to become an accredited practitioner, download the
relevant handbook for the jurisdiction where you wish to seek
accreditation using the links below.

Australia communication channels as developments unfold.
