The Volunteer Leadership Project was established to support the Fire and Emergency Services industry-sector identify the capability requirements of non-operational leaders within agencies. The findings of the project will be used to inform changes to the PUA Public Safety Training Package to support these roles.
During the initial project phase, Public Skills Australia established a Volunteer Leadership Working Group comprising members from each state and territory and across fire, State and Territory Emergency Service and Surf Life Saving agencies.

A range of online meetings were held between 4 February and 15 February 2026 to gather feedback.
