Eurobodalla residents are being asked to contribute to a world first research project on the aftermath of the bushfires five years ago.
Monash University has written to everyone in the shire seeking around half an hour of their time to participate to the survey online or over the phone.
Professor Jane Fisher said this level of information has never been collected before following such as disaster.
“The findings will be shared directly with Eurobodalla residents and used to create more effective, locally-tailored health and recovery services,” she said.
“This is the first cross sectional population study to analyse bushfire related health impacts in regional Australia, developed in consultation with affected communities.
“The research examines the immediate and the ongoing health impacts over a five-year period.
