More than 2,500 volunteers have taken the 2015 VFBV Volunteer Welfare & Efficiency Survey and the new VICSES version of the survey this year.
Volunteers’ responses are being studied for the survey report, which will go to VFBV and CFA Boards, CFA’s senior management, VICSES, the Emergency Management Commissioner and the Minister for Emergency Services.
You can see the 2014 report at www.vfbv.com.au
Each year’s results are compared with previous years' figures to show trends in how volunteers feel on each issue.
It is a co-operative process; VFBV and the CFA Board studied the first three years' results and continue to use the survey to highlight aspects of volunteer support that need attention.
The annual survey is making your association’s representation more effective and giving every volunteer the chance to be heard.
