National Emergency Volunteer Support Fund

The National Emergency Volunteer Support Fund (NEVSF) is aimed at boosting the recruitment, retention, skills and training of volunteer organisations at the frontline of emergency management.  

Eligibility

Grants are available under the National Emergency Volunteer Support Fund to member agencies of the Australian Emergency Management Volunteer Forum (AEMVF) and any volunteer agencies that have a defined role in Tasmanian emergency management or recovery plans. 

Eligible Projects  

Priority will be given to projects submitted by agencies which seek funding for particular strategies that enhance recruitment, retention and training of volunteers in emergency management agencies. Applications for funding of capital equipment will also be considered.  

It is acceptable for the proposal to be a clearly identified element of some other ongoing project; however, the intended outputs of that element of the project funded through the NEVSF must be specifically measurable.

Projects previously funded under the programme may be viewed at the link below.
