How is CFA Funded?

CFA is largely funded by insurance contributions. Insurance companies pass this cost onto the policy holder by building it into the premium. By insuring your property against fire, you are contributing to CFA's budget and ensuring you won't be charged for fire services to attend a fire or emergency at your property.

What if I'm not insured?

CFA is obliged to charge owners & occupiers for uninsured fires under the CFA Act 1958, but some discretion may be used depending on individual circumstances. If an owner or occupier disputes a charge, CFA will make every attempt to try and resolve the matter. In the event that it remains unresolved, the owner/occupier may take the matter to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Remember - ALWAYS dial "000" in the event of an emergency.
