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.
The ESF Family Advisory Group will aim to ensure that our Family Matters strategy resonates with the diverse experiences of families from across sector in Victoria. We are seeking 10 family representatives.

This free program is open to all Victorian volunteer emergency service/ management volunteers. An informal 2.5 hour workshop where we come to you!
