Member Services 
Today on 8 March 2022, VFBV is recognising the achievements of women in VFBV, CFA, emergency services and their communities and are encouraging others to do the same.
The theme for this year’s international Women’s Day is BreakTheBias – where collectively we can all BreakTheBias for a gender equal world.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week more than 12,000 female CFA volunteers dedicate their time and energy to challenge the bias of what a firefighter is and show how women can be involved in emergency services and are leading the way for future generations.
To all the fabulous, dedicated, highly skilled and much appreciated women in CFA and across all fire and emergency services, thank you for the work you do today and everyday.
Collectively we can all work together to BreakTheBias and create a more gender equal world within our brigades, workplaces, communities, CFA and the wider emergency services in Victoria.
