The DFES Volunteer Employer Recognition Awards (VERA) acknowledge the important contribution made by employers and self-employed volunteers in the delivery of emergency services in Western Australia.
Many employers allow our emergency services volunteers to take time off work to respond to incidents or attend training, enabling them to deliver essential services that help keep our communities safe.
VERA encourages emergency service volunteers to nominate either their employer or a self-employed volunteer for an award. A special new award category is awarded to businesses and organisations who are long term supporters of emergency service volunteers. These businesses have received multiple Volunteer Employer Recognition Awards over the twelve years this award program has been running.
