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.
ESF is thrilled to have received funding from the Victorian Government to take our popular Mental Health Matters program to brigades, units, clubs and groups again in 2022. This free program is open to all Victorian volunteer emergency service/ management volunteers.
Our inaugural Better Together Luncheon brought emergency service organisations and sector supporters together to celebrate Victoria’s 125,000 emergency workers and acknowledge the mental toll emergency service work can have on the people who protect our community.
