Changes to CFA
Limited time for volunteers to comment
STORY UPDATED 6 AUGUST:
Under the name of Creating our Future Together, CFA is proposing significant changes to the way the Regions work and CFA supports Brigades.
CFA is calling for feedback and has now extended the deadline for comment on the proposals to Friday, 30 August, after VFBV expressed concern that volunteers were not being given sufficient time to hear about the changes and consider them.
The proposed changes include;
- Reorganising Districts in to five Regions instead of the current eight
- New Assistant Chief Officers in the roles of Regional Director/Regional Commander
- Changes to the roles of Brigades, Groups, Districts and Regions
- Changes to the way Brigades are supported
- Allocation of resources by workload, not location
CFA says the changes are intended to improve support to Brigades and members, reduce red tape and enable better service delivery.
Please familiarise yourself with the proposals, help spread the word among your fellow volunteers and provide any comments by Friday, 30 August. See below for links to CFA’s information.
If you have any concerns or comments, please raise them through the methods made available by CFA, talk to your State Councillors, call the VFBV office or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
