This year’s survey will open on Friday 23rd August to coincide with this year’s AFAC Conference being held in Melbourne. VFBV will be on Stand #595 in the Exhibition space at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre in Southbank throughout the conference, and members are welcome to drop by and have a chat and complete the survey while they are there.
The VFBV Volunteer Welfare and Efficiency Survey, now in its 8th year - is an annual snapshot of volunteer opinion and welfare. It has become a critical tool in monitoring short- and long-term trends, and the effectiveness of initiatives aimed at improving CFA volunteer engagement and wellbeing.

The survey is made up of 33 questions chosen by volunteers and takes just 10 or 15 minutes to complete. It is the largest survey of its kind in Australia, and VFBV supports the other Australian States and Territory volunteer associations in running the same survey within the other fire services to gain a national perspective.
Please encourage all members of your brigade and group to register their interest in survey by signing up on online or downloading a sign-up sheet at the bottom of the page which was also posted to all Brigade and Group Secretaries in this quarter’s mailout.
The results of the 2018 VFBV Volunteer Welfare and Efficiency Survey are available here and the 2018 National Volunteer Welfare and Efficiency Survey are available from the Council of Australian Volunteer Fire Associations (CAVFA) website.
