The WA Financial Counsellors Disaster Preparedness, Response and Recovery Framework informs the financial counselling sector and the broader community on the role financial counselling plays in disaster preparedness, response and recovery. The Framework is a dynamic mechanism that guides the sector on the activities it can perform to better prepare communities for natural hazards and when they strike, it can ensure more effective response to assist communities to recover and ‘bounce forward’. The Framework is also intended to be shared with different organisations so that they can better understand the support that the financial counselling sector can provide in disaster management.
This Framework was developed by the Financial Counsellors Association of Western Australia (FCAWA) and the Centre for Social Impact, University of Western Australia (CSI UWA), with funding from the Western Australian Government through a National Disaster Risk Reduction competitive grant.
