Our Partners

Fire Protection Association Australia (FPA Australia) is the national peak body for fire safety and the fire protection industry. It is a not-for-profit organisation and charitable institution that seeks to improve community safety, representing almost 1,800 companies and organisations (and up to 30,000 people), that provide, use, or support fire protection services and products.

Their members, customers, and supporters, share a common goal – The creation of a better skilled, more professional, accredited industry that protects people and property, delivered through advocacy, technical information, accreditation, services, and the education of practitioners.

Established in Perth in 2012, Freo Fire Services is renowned for its exceptional customer service and high-quality fire safety equipment and protection services. As one of WA’s leading installers of life-saving equipment, they are committed to providing the latest technology and expert fire services at competitive rates. Their team is known for their professionalism and a coordinated approach to fire safety, covering all aspects of design, installation, maintenance, and servicing needs.

As a proud charity partner of the Fiona Wood Foundation, Freo Fire Services brings joy to the lives of children in the Perth Children’s Hospital burns clinics by donating activities, toys, and bubbles. The Freo Fire Service’s generosity and kindness bring moments of distraction and joy to children and their families during challenging times, both in treatment and rehabilitation.

The Foundation receives support from the Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (PCHF) for the Stan Perron Centre of Excellence in Childhood Burns at Perth Children’s Hospital.

Led by Professor Wood, the Centre aims to be a world-leading hub for burn care, advancing innovation, best practice, research, and education across prevention, acute care, and lifelong recovery. It integrates research into clinical practice to improve outcomes, while supporting staff training, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement in care.

Children and families are central to this work, with a focus on understanding burn injury responses and developing new treatments. Education and community engagement prioritise prevention and first aid to reduce the impact of burns.

The Centre collaborates widely to improve the lives of children affected by burn injury and is supported through partnerships with PCHF, the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation, WA Firefighters, and the National Fire Industry Association.

Since 1990, Protection Engineering has been providing expert fire protection and safety services to people in Western Australia. They provide expert fire safety training, installation of dry and wet fire systems, fire system designs and more.

All staff are fully trained and qualified, and are experts in ensuring that fire safety equipment meets the current Australian Fire Standards. 

Telethon raises funds to support various WA charities to transform the lives of sick, disadvantaged, and vulnerable children. The Fiona Wood Foundation is one of its beneficiaries.

The Ian Potter Foundation is one of Australia’s major philanthropic foundations. It provides grants to charitable organisations across Australia to benefit the community in areas including the arts, medical research, public health research, early childhood development, community wellbeing, and environmental science. Its aim is to support a healthy, vibrant, fair, and sustainable Australia.

The Foundation facilitates the Cynthia Bantham Burn Injury Research Fellowship, a $100,000 award provided every two years to the Fiona Wood Foundation. The fellowship supports plastic surgeon trainees to undertake burn patient research.
