While the scale of bushfire threat in Queensland is not as acute as that in the southern states, to prepare successfully for bushfires, Queensland must have an effective bushfire management system, which addresses prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.  

The objective of this audit was to determine if Queensland is better able to prevent and prepare for bushfires following the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Malone Review into Rural Fire Services in Queensland 2013 and the Police and Community Safety Review 2013.
