Emergency management volunteers are sharing in $10 million of grants, with the State Government recently announcing that applications are open for the 2018-19 Emergency Services Volunteer Sustainability grants program.
The program is open to volunteers from:
- Victoria State Emergency Service
- Life Saving Victoria
- Volunteer Marine Search and Rescue units
- Other emergency management organisations identified in the Emergency Management Manual Victoria.
The CFA has its own government-funded grants program for volunteer firefighters, with more than half of the $10 million Enhancing Volunteerism Grants Program already allocated to brigades.
Applications can be made by an individual volunteer, unit or club, or an agency/organisation. Grants of up to $50,000 are available.
