  • Attend Rural Fire Brigade and/or Group meetings to provide timely updates, expert advice, assist with early resolution of issues, and support brigade governance requirements.
  • Assist with training coordination, delivery, and facilitation across the area, district, and region to ensure training needs and gaps for volunteers are identified and rectified as appropriate.
