At present, the unit has approximately 60 active members, with 12 of these just recently having completed a basic training package, and 10 on a waiting list to join. All of the members in the unit are volunteers. Our membership base is comprised of people spread across all three of our municipalities (the cities of Hume, Whittlesea and Moreland).
Our volunteers fill the roles of Controller, Deputy Controllers for Training and Operations, Administration Officer, Training Staff Officer, Communications Officer, Treasurer, Team Leaders and members accredited for general rescue.
Over 90% of our volunteers are all in full time employment, and perhaps a quarter of members have university level qualifications.
