change in SES SCC

(1/1)

bajdas:
Yesterday marked a significant change in my volunteering.

Not sure of good or bad (I have some personal opinions which will not be aired), will wait and see if the Unit is allocated a regular response role.

MFS Comcen (Adelaide Fire) will now process all CRD functions for SA SES. No volunteers to be involved.

Good luck MFS Comcen operators when the next multi-incident event occurs. Bye bye end of a era that has been ongoing for approx 15 years.

Chinny:
Well not much is really going to change... MFS comcen handle it anyway until vols arrive an hour or so later... Then only to find the event is over, I know some event can be long duration, but they will just recall staff.

Alex:
It will be a shame to see the volunteer role end, many people have provided a lot of hours service to the local community through the SES SCC.


What will the SES SHQ units primary role now become Andrew?

Some hints given for all Operations & Co-ordination Units. Will depend on how paid staff settle in their new structure & positions when they handle operations. Possibly SES State Operations Centre, Field Commands, AIIMS, etc....but nothing that would be a regular volunteering role.

Many things caused the demise (volunteer response times was one of them, $$$ another, politics, unions, volunteer management, etc, etc...)
