Funding
The CFA is funded on a 77.5%/22.5% split where Insurance companies provide 77.5% of the funding through fire levies on insurance policies and the Victorian Government provides 22.5% of the funding. In 2006/2007 Insurance companies provided $180.8m and $51.1m was provided from the State Government. The CFA also receives small amounts of funding from the provision of goods and services to external bodies. Additional funding from the government is also provided during serious long duration bushfires.
Individual brigades receive further funds from local councils, from their own fundraising activities and from donations from the community.
