Affiliations and Memberships

The Peter Hughes Burn Foundation or members of its Board of Trustees are members of the following organisations.

 

The Australian and New Zealand Burn Association (ANZBA) was formed in 1976 and later incorporated in 1991. The principal object of this association is to encourage higher standards of both burn injury prevention and burn patient care through research and education. ANZBA is administered by a Board comprised of members representative of each Australian state and New Zealand.
  The Fire Protection Association Australia is Australia’s major technical and educational fire safety organisation aiming to achieve continual improvement in fire safety through active membership and a range of activities. FPA Australia provides a central source of information and services to promote the protection of life, assets and the environment in Australia. Members represent every aspect of the fire safety community – manufacturers and suppliers of fire protection products and services, fire-fighters, building owners, insurers, designers and surveyors, government and legislators, educators and anyone else working as part of the fire safety community - to provide a safer environment for all Australians.
  FireWise communities experience fewer fires and fewer fire-related deaths, injuries and property losses. The NSW Rural Fire Service is committed to working with the community to bring about a self sufficient and fire safe community. FireWise is the approach used by the Rural Fire Service to educate the community about fire and fire safety. The FireWise program is run by RFS members trained in community education techniques. Information and advice is given on bush fire behaviour, personal safety and identifying hazards and ways to treat them.
  Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.There are 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
  The Life of Burn Victims changes from one second to the next. Now Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy and many more operations (increasing functionality rather than enhancing aesthetics) become a major part of their life - for years to come. World Burn Foundation offers services to burn victims that are designed to make them fully accepted members of society again.
