Emergency Services are committed to assisting and supporting people and communities affected by emergency situations. Teams of fully trained and resourced volunteers deliver a range of services across Victoria. These teams are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day and are an integral part of the State’s Emergency Management Arrangements.
Emergency Catering
Trained volunteers provide catering services for Emergency Service personnel and those affected by an emergency.
Emergency First Aid
First Aid accredited volunteers provide assistance to people affected by emergencies and undertake First Aid at community events such as the Murray Marathon and the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Once you have Level 2 first aid qualification you are eligible to become a volunteer in the Emergency First Aid program. A minimum commitment of 20 hours per annum is required. Australian Red Cross Victoria will then cover the costs for ongoing first aid training requirements and updates.

Emergency Registration
Trained registration volunteers register evacuees during an emergency and mange the State Inquiry Centre for concerned relatives and friends. This program also assists with personal support volunteers for the Melbourne Airport Emergency Management Plan.
Single Incident Emergency Assistance
Trained volunteers provide immediate help for those affected by a house fire, flood, explosion or similar small-scale emergencies. This area also provides assistance with clothing needs, accommodation, food and personal items.
