Burn Management Program

Burns Management Program

Managing burn injuries in Western Australia comes with distinct challenges across a vast state spanning 2.55 million square kilometres. Healthcare professionals, paramedics and volunteer first responders in rural and remote regions are often required to make complex decisions on their own, without immediate access to specialist support. In these situations, their knowledge and confidence directly influence patient outcomes.

The Burns Management Programme (BMP) strengthens these communities by providing essential skills and practical knowledge for managing burn injuries in geographically isolated settings. This fully subsidised training is available to eligible healthcare professionals, paramedics and volunteer first responders and delivers comprehensive education across the full pathway of burn care, from the initial response through to long-term rehabilitation.
