A new State-wide marketing campaign to encourage people of all ages and skill levels to become an emergency services volunteer will begin today.
The Get Behind the Frontline campaign aims to highlight the wide range of volunteering roles that can be carried out by volunteers who might not be suited to frontline operations.
Emergency Services Minister Francis Logan said attracting new volunteers can be challenging.
"Volunteers are incredibly important and without them, we simply wouldn't be able to provide a timely and effective emergency response throughout the State," he said.
"You don't need to be on the frontline to contribute. There are plenty of roles in areas such as administration, communications, catering, logistics and educating the community.
"Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills, but most importantly it's a chance to give something back.
"You could help save a life, and that is an invaluable contribution to your community."
There are vital non-operational positions that support brigades, groups and units including communications, catering, mapping and logistics, vehicle maintenance and social media engagement.
