The NSW Government has commissioned an independent expert inquiry into the 2019-20 bushfire season to provide input to NSW ahead of the next bushfire season.
The Inquiry welcomes submissions from bushfire-affected residents, emergency and support personnel, organisations and the general public. Everyone is encouraged to share their experience and tell their story to inform the Inquiry’s work.The Inquiry will also be travelling to bushfire affected communities to meet with and hear directly from people who have been impacted. The schedule for community visits will be posted to this site as soon as it is confirmed.
