Volunteer Leadership Project
The Volunteer Leadership Project addresses critical capability gaps in non-operational leadership roles across Australia’s volunteer-based Fire and Emergency Services. While operational leadership has long been a focus, many volunteer leaders, such as Brigade Captains and Unit Controllers, step into their roles without formal training in essential areas like team management, conflict resolution, and member support. This project aims to: - Understand current leadership challenges and needs through consultation with stakeholders. - Assess existing training programs and identify transferable skills. - Recommend strategic updates to national training packages and promote accessible leadership development pathways.
