Our Purpose
Protecting those who protect us
ESF is a not for profit organisation which brings together Victoria’s emergency management agencies to protect the mental health and wellbeing of those who protect us.
Better together. That’s what we aim to be.
From 8 to 28 of March 2024, Tony’s Trek Side-by-Side will head to Everest Base Camp on a 19-day trek, with the amazing crew from No Roads Expeditions.
This free program is open to all Victorian volunteer emergency service/ management volunteers. An informal 2.5 hour workshop where we come to you!
The next round of applications will open on 16 September and close on 19 November with successful applicants announced before the end of the year.
