AILA Victoria President on The Victorian Fires

SPECIAL UPDATE from the AILA Victoria President on The Victorian Fires

The Victorian community is dealing with the worst natural disaster to
hit the state – and the fires are still burning. The extraordinary death
toll is only one indicator of the devastation.

People have lost their lives, friends and family as well as homes, cars,
places of employment, schools and community facilities. As noted in a
recent national communiqué, the membership has been personally touched
by the loss of one of our members and most of her immediate family.

The death of Jacinta Bartlett, her husband Gary and daughter to the
fires is terrible. Her oldest daughter (who I believe is 13) is in
hospital recovering from burns (I also believe she has recently come out
of intensive care and has been moved to the burns unit which is
encouraging).
