The Emergency Services Foundation brought together emergency service workers and their partners including a group of VCC Emergencies Ministry volunteers (and one staff member) along with sector leaders at Government House Victoria yesterday to acknowledge the often-unseen role families play in supporting Victoria’s frontline emergency service personnel.

This event recognised their resilience, sacrifice and contribution to community safety.

The Emergency Services Foundation is honoured to have the Governor of Victoria, Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Margaret Gardner AC, as their Patron.

We were all grateful for her interest and support as ESF works to improve mental health in the Victorian emergency services. Hosting this important event at the Governors official residence, elevates the contribution of emergency service workers, volunteers and their families beyond operational acknowledgement, affirming that their service, sacrifice and support are valued not only within the sector, but by the Victorian community as a whole.

We were also joined by Minister of Emergency Services Vicki Ward MP for Eltham and Parliamentary Secretary Ryan Batchelor MP who acknowledged the amazing work undertaken over the Summer period.
