Agency Consultation Activities
Consultation is now open
The Volunteer Leadership Project was established to support the Fire and Emergency Services industry-sector identify the capability requirements of non-operational leaders within agencies. The findings of the project will be used to inform changes to the PUA Public Safety Training Package to support these roles.
During the initial project phase, Public Skills Australia established a Volunteer Leadership Working Group comprising members from each state and territory and across fire, State and Territory Emergency Service and Surf Life Saving agencies.
How you can assist
We are seeking to consult and validate the identified leadership themes and competencies to ensure they meet the requirements of volunteer fire and emergency service agencies nationally.
The project team will be hosting a range of workshops to discuss:
- if competencies meet the requirements of your agency/locality
- further details and nuances to be noted for these competencies
In session, the project team will also discuss potential initiatives that could be employed to support agencies within these areas.
