Thanks for joining us at ESF’s Families Matter Day at Gumbuya World!
It was wonderful to see so many emergency service families come together to celebrate and be acknowledged for the incredible contribution you all make to keep our community safe. We hope you and your loved ones enjoyed the activities, lunch and opportunity to connect with others.
If you were lucky enough to join us on the weekend, feel free to share your thought: What you enjoyed, what could be improved, and any ideas you have for future Families Matter events.
Your insights will help us shape future experiences for emergency service families like yours.

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!
