QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the report of the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee’s Report on the Inquiry into Fire and Emergency Services Legislation (Report No. 3), 2006
and, in particular, to recommendation No. 62 which provided that despite recommendation 60, the Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) should ensure the individuality of emergency services entities (including badging reflective of their unit and locality) in its business practices. Therefore I ask
(a) what steps are being taken to ensure that this recommendation is put into operation;
(b) is there a current FESA policy on badging; and
(c) if so, what is it?

(a) The identities of all services remain as intended in terms of recommendation 62, in badging and business practices. Ongoing Uniform and Protective Clothing reviews and subsequent decisions have supported this.
(b-c) Whilst there is no current policy on this subject each service retains its unique badge including the Fire and Rescue Service (Career and Volunteer); State Emergency Service; Volunteer Emergency Service; Volunteer Fire Service; Volunteer Marine Rescue Services; FESA Units and Bush Fire Brigades. FESA Managers have appropriate badging related to their service role.
