Fair Protection for Firefighters Bill 2011
Legislation to recognise firefighter cancers as occupational diseases
The
UFUA has campaigned for many years to have cancers recognised as
occupational diseases for firefighters. This goal became a real
possibility when Members of Parliament Adam Bandt (Greens), Maria
Vamvakinou (Australian Labor Party) and Russell Broadbent (Liberal
Party) co-sponsored the 'Fair Protection for Firefighters' Bill in the
House of Representatives on July 4, this year.
