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, but you must complete a very competitive recruitment process. You must have a high level of fitness, and a minimum physical aptitude standard needs to be met. 


  1. Hold an Australian citizenship or permanent residency status.
  2. Apply for and go through the current competitive recruitment and testing process, which includes aptitude tests, psychological and personality tests, physical aptitude tests, firefighter selection interviews, and a comprehensive medical examination.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Meet Active Firefighter, Brent C

Victorian Firefighter Recruitment November 2019 CFA MFB 2020 Recruit Courses FRV

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 get the edge over the competition. 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.

I found Brent’s website 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 get into the fire service. I definitely recommend Brent’s products for anyone wanting to develop the necessary skills required for the Fire Service.
