Description: A free, one-off service which supports some of the most at-risk community members. The program helps people live more safely and confidently in their home in areas where bush fires may start. The AIDER program is designed for people who have limited domestic support available from family, relatives, friends or other services. This could include older people, people living with a disability, and people who are already receiving community assistance and services. Their property must also be on bush fire prone land (land that can support a bush fire or be subject to bush fire attack). AIDER services can include: clearing gutters thinning vegetation around the home removing leaf and tree debris trimming branches from close to the home mowing or slashing long grass.
