Position Paper – State Fire and Emergency Services Commission
As part of the TFES Reforms, the Tasmanian Government has committed to establishing the State Fire and Emergency Services Commission (SFESC) as the statutory authority in charge of the Tasmania Fire and Emergency Service (TFES), with a skills-based board.
The Position Paper – State Fire and Emergency Services Commission presents more detail on this commitment and how the legislation will be drafted to deliver on this.
Feedback on the proposed approach was sought between 3 December 2024 and 28 February 2025.
