FPA AUSTRALIA EVENTS

FPA Australia runs a variety of technical events catering to the fire protection industry. Topics cover the breadth of the sector—wet systems, dry systems, passive fire, mechanical fire protection, special hazards, bushfire, emergency planning—and provide useful opportunities for practitioners to pick up continuing professional development points.

Presented by leading experts, our seminars and technical webinars provide all the information you need about relevant fire safety topics. Recent topics have covered baseline data, insurance, defects and bushfire design, and we’ve got further seminars on mechanical smoke control, detection systems and sprinklers in the pipeline.

For a full list of upcoming events, visit www.fpaa.com.au/events.aspx.

FPA+

Fire practitioners are busy people who cannot always make time to attend a live event. For this reason, FPA Australia has made its recorded webinars available through a new online portal, FPA+.

This user-friendly website allows members and non-members alike to purchase our content and catch up on any events they have missed, earning continuing professional development points in the process. Free FPA Australia webinars can also be accessed through the portal, providing access to popular topic areas such as the requirements of the Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme.

It is a great way to access technical content in your own time and at your leisure, without having to interrupt your workday.
