ELIGIBLE Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) firefighters will now have access to a new presumptive rights scheme that makes it easier to access compensation for certain types of cancer.

Under the scheme, it will be easier for eligible forest firefighters to access compensation if they develop certain types of cancer, such as leukemia or bladder cancer.
