About the Prevention CommitteeThe ANZBA Prevention Sub-Committee was formed in 2008 to address burns prevention issues from a bi-national perspective. The Executive of this committee comprises of representatives from states and territories of Australia, and New Zealand.
The Executive of the Prevention Committee has been meeting via teleconference monthly since its inception.
