VFBV is reviewing CFA's draft Honours, Awards and Remembrance Policy and draft Revocation of Honours and Awards Procedure.
Members are invited to examine the proposed documents and share their views.
Feedback can be submitted by individual members, brigades, or groups, and contributors do not need to be delegates to participate in the consultation process. Volunteer feedback plays an important role in shaping formal positions and informing discussions throughout the review process.
Members are encouraged to submit their feedback as early as possible. Early submissions allow additional research to be undertaken where required and can strengthen advocacy on issues identified by members.
Those seeking further information are encouraged to contact their local State Councillor or VFBV Support Officer in the first instance.
Copies of the proposed policy and procedure document are available for download at the bottom of this page.
How to provide feedback:
These two documents will be open for consultation until the end of June 2026.
Feedback can be provided via:
1. Emailing to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
2. Your local District Council or your local VFBV Support Officer
3. By Post: 9/24 Lakeside Drive, Burwood East VIC 3151
Feedback does not need to be long or detailed, but if you do have the time to make substantive comment that is always welcome.
If you generally support a principle or policy, then a quick note letting us know would also be helpful. Similarly, let us know if you do not support it, or which aspects of it you don't support.
Your feedback will assist us form a VFBV position and response to the proposed changes and help us advocate on behalf of CFA volunteers. Please consider getting involved, and providing us your feedback ASAP.
Please remember to provide feedback in support as well as against. If we only hear from those who are against, it can be harder to determine the general comfort level of members with the proposals.
