On 18 January 2003, the ACT experienced an unprecedented fire disaster, causing the tragic death of four people, nearly 500 injuries treated at hospitals, the loss of 488 homes and over 90 community, educational, commercial and farm buildings; damage to many other homes and businesses, including rural properties and villages to the west of Canberra; and widespread destruction of physical infrastructure, forests and the environment generally. The total financial cost of the fires has been estimated at 350 million dollars. The scale of the effects of the January 2003 bushfire disaster on ACT citizens and the community and on public and private property led the ACT Government to conclude that there was a need for a specially focused approach to the ongoing direction of the recovery. While the majority of the Government response the disaster would be most effectively undertaken by existing Government and community sector agencies, the scale of the disaster, the wide range of responses required and the need to ensure that momentum and coordination was maintained led to the Government's decision to adopt a taskforce approach: •On the 24 January 2003, the Government announced the establishment of a Bushfire Recovery Taskforce to coordinate the government, community and business efforts to assist the victims of the disaster and the longer-term recovery of the ACT. •The Taskforce was to report to the Chief Minister as the Minister responsible for Bushfire Recovery. •A Community and Expert Reference Group (CERG) was established by the ACT Government on 3 February 2003 as a key advisory body to the Taskforce and Government on community recovery issues and as an essential two-way communication channel to ensure that the recovery strategy was informed by community views and needs, and by local knowledge and expertise. •The Taskforce and CERG were supported by a Bushfire Recovery Taskforce Secretariat, staffed mainly by seconded ACT public servants tasked with ensuring that the recovery process was a key priority through the ACT administration and that affected people's needs were responded to promptly. •The ACT Recovery Centre at Lyons was established on 24 January 2003 as a central point for bushfire affected residents to access information, advice, services and support. The role of the Taskforce was to advise the Government, provide leadership for the recovery and act as a bridge between Government agencies and the community.

The bushfires hit Canberra suburbs on Saturday 18 January 2003, and by Monday 20 the Community Recovery Coordinator in the ACT Department of Education, Youth and Family Services was planning a Recovery Centre. The Centre was established on Friday 24 January in the former Lyons Primary School, close to many of the affected suburbs, and managed initially by the Department. On 12 February operational responsibility was transferred to the ACT Bushfire Recovery Taskforce Secretariat. The Centre closed on 2 April 2004. The Centre was established as an entry point and first stop shop for information and assistance, and provided a coordination and service delivery point for practical and emotional support via a team of recovery workers and community agencies. It was advertised on radio and television and in newspapers and on opening day registered 375 families and took 172 Hot-line calls. Initially it coordinated volunteers, managed donations, established registration databases and administered ACT Government grants. It organised accommodation, food and clothing, property assessment, replacement of birth certificates, counselling and income support. These services were provided by government agencies, community organisations, businesses and charities, that in the first weeks were all located in the Centre. Initially, recovery workers were provided by NSW and Victoria government departments until ACT staff could be recruited. The Centre also provided mental health and crisis services via staff released from government agencies and community organisations, together with various human services professionals in private practice. Management of the Centre was characterised by a flat structure and a flexible, can-do approach. Government and community worked together to provide services within a highly successful team structure. After the initial survival phase, the Centre modified its approach, supporting people and communities while they managed their own recovery. The service model integrated case management at the individual or family level with community development work and advocacy to government and other agencies for flexible service provision.
