How to Become a Firefighter in Australia
To become a firefighter in Australia, the requirements vary depending on the state. You can check with the fire service in your state or territory for specific details. Generally, the educational requirements to become a firefighter are not all that restrictive, No high school diploma or college degree is needed but you must complete a very competitive recruitment process. You must have a high level of fitness, and a minimum physical ability test standard needs to be met.
Becoming a professional firefighter as your career choice will require some hard work. The career opportunities, once you have completed your advanced training and graduate from the fire academy as a probationary firefighter, will be well worth the effort you put in now. A career in the emergency services is not for everyone.
- Hold an Australian citizenship or permanent residency status.
- Apply for and go through the current competitive recruitment and testing process, which includes aptitude tests, psychological and personality tests, physical ability tests, firefighter selection interviews, and a comprehensive medical examination.
- Have a current Australian driver’s licence and have a good driving history. Undergo the police check and obtain a level 2 first aid certificate.
- Attend and pass the firefighter recruit training course, which has an average duration of 17 weeks. Upon successful completion of your course, you will be offered a role as a firefighter. Probationary periods apply in some states.
- As part of this career path you need to be willing and driven to contribute via community service, attend medical emergencies as well other emergency situations not limited to fire all with the goal of improving public safety.
Meet Active Firefighter, Brent C
G'day. My name is Brent and I am an active Firefighter. After becoming a Firefighter, I developed a massive interest in the Fire Services Recruitment and Selection Processes. I've been working since 2007 to learn everything about how Fire Services Recruitment works. I've tested and refined proven methods to help people just like you get the edge over the competition in the hiring process. Today, over 300 of my former students are living their Firefighter dream.
Before becoming a firefighter I was a Prison Guard for a number of years, and in the military prior to that. All these jobs require a seasoned knowledge of the recruitment and selection processes which I have mastered over the years.
Being a successful applicant myself in areas where many fail gives me a unique ability to help guide you through the fire department hiring process here in Australia.

I found Brent’s website and training programs very useful and it offered me exactly what I was struggling to find. His products helped improve and develop my skills in spatial, mechanical, and verbal reasoning.These are the skills and traits that helped me to pass the written test & get into the fire service. I definitely recommend Brent’s products for anyone wanting to develop the necessary skills required for the Fire Service.
