2026
In light of the ongoing bushfires and the demands being placed on emergency service personnel across Victoria, ESF has made the difficult decision to cancel our Families Matter Event on 7th of February.
Thank you for your understanding. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted, particularly emergency service workers and volunteers responding during this challenging time, and their families who always support them for this important work.
2025
The 2025 Emergency Services AFL Match was a highlight for the sector – capturing big smiles from all those involved and well-deserved recognition for all that the emergency services community does.
2024
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Emergency Services AFL Match and our first ever Family Matters Expo!
The MCG’s Yarra Park Fan Zone came alive yesterday as emergency service workers and their families connected with other emergency service families, enjoyed fun kids’ activities, spoke to experts about mental fitness, and enjoyed a lunch from our amazing sponsors!
Thank you also to The Victorian Government, Gallagher Basset, WorkSafe, Officeworks, and our fantastic volunteers who made the day possible. See you next year!
