Contacting us
CFA has set up a hotline specifically to assist members and others who would like to register their interest to receive future updates or need advice about medical concerns, welfare support and safety at Fiskville.
The CFA information line phone number is 1800 628 616 and operates seven days per week from 8.30am to 8.30pm.
Medical Advice
If you have medical concerns and you were an employee, volunteer or resident of Fiskville then arrangements will be made for a nurse from the CFA Medical Officer’s facilities to contact you for seek further information.
Any discussions with our health care providers are strictly confidential.
Welfare Support
Psychologist/ counsellor support, peer support and chaplaincy support is available to those seeking welfare assistance.
Psychologists/counsellors provide professional mental health services to members and their immediate family members. They can assist in a range of areas, including family and relationship issues.
CFA members are offered three free confidential counselling sessions and CFA is invoiced for the cost of these sessions without any details being passed on to CFA.
A member with identified long term, complex or clinical needs will be assisted to transition to appropriate services.
Legal Advice
While CFA is providing a range of welfare services to members, we are unable to provide legal advice. The law prevents CFA’s lawyers from providing legal advice to CFA members or other potentially affected people in these circumstances.
Callers will be advised to contact the law firm of their choice if they are seeking legal advice.
Public Safety
A recent hygienist review found that there were no significant risks that would affect volunteers, employees and anyone else visiting Fiskville. WorkSafe has also done an inspection of the site.
Since these allegations were raised in December, CFA has been working with WorkSafe and the Environmental Protection Authority.
For many years now it has been CFA’s practice to maintain regular testing of all systems associated with hot fire training at Fiskville. This practice will continue.
The latest updates regarding the Fiskville investigation will be posted to Fiskville investigation updates.
