WHO WE ARE:

Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) is a volunteer-based emergency service. Our highly skilled and equipped Volunteers are trained comprehensively in a wide range of emergency environments. To minimise the impact of emergencies when they occur and strengthen the community’s capacity to recover swiftly and safely, VICSES focuses on working with communities and partners in building resilience to achieve more aware, informed and prepared communities. We support them to understand their risk and the relevance of taking action before, during and after emergency events.
As the largest road rescue network in Australia we have specialist teams that provide a 24/7 response to road accident and trauma incidents. We assist Victoria Police in search and rescue operations, and play an important role in supporting the Country Fire Authority (CFA), Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV), Parks Victoria and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) during major bushfire and emergency incidents.

This position is responsible for ensuring VICSES meets its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 and the Information Privacy Principles of the Privacy & Data Protection Act 2014. It requires the application of expertise and judgement to make informed decisions within relevant timeframes and the ability to assess issues and processes against legislation and standards. The position also provides advice, assistance and training to the organisation about legislative compliance with these and other information-related legislation and requirements.
