Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 We did have one firefighter but he jumped over to become a policeman on the Sunshine Coast. I think you will find it easy to get in to the fire brigade BUT remember most are volunteer positions so getting paid would be the difficulty. Each state will have their own guidelines/wages/etc take a look here. Priority is often given to the volunteers https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=10 https://firefighter.vic.gov.au/about-career-firefighters/ https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteer-careers/career-firefighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No preference give to anyone with a previous career in Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 We lived in WA and lots of them were volunteers and the unwritten rule is that paid roles would go to those who had spent some years as a volunteer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
