About the board

The Minister for Emergency Services is pleased to invite applications for the position of Deputy Chairperson on the Country Fire Authority (CFA) Board.

The Country Fire Authority Act 1958 (CFA Act) establishes the Country Fire Authority (CFA) Board. The CFA is a fully volunteer fire fighting service with over 54,000 volunteers. These volunteers include firefighters, community educators and support personnel spread across 1,212 brigades, 21 districts and five regions in Victoria.

The CFA's vision – Victorian communities are prepared for and safe from fire.

The CFA's mission – To protect lives and property.

The CFA Board is responsible for setting strategic direction and ensuring appropriate governance arrangements are effectively and efficiently implemented, including to:

  • contribute to a whole-of-sector approach to emergency management
  • promote a culture within the emergency management sector of community focus, interoperability and public value
  • support the effective and sustainable recruitment, development and retention of volunteer officers and members, including those located in the Fire Rescue Victoria fire district, to deliver capability in the provision of the Authority's services.

The CFA Board ensures the CFA carries out its functions in a manner such that services provided are: effective and efficient; consistent with prudent financial management practices; and safe and secure.

The Deputy Chairperson holds office for a period specified in the Instrument of Appointment which cannot exceed three years. A Deputy Chairperson is eligible for reappointment and is entitled to receive remuneration and travel and other allowances, as fixed by the Governor in Council, unless the Board Member is an employee of the public service.
