Its mainly the metro SES units that do this... And normally to a senior group (4-6 members)
Pretty much aimed at the jobs which may not require a response right that minute.
For example, it allows the duty officer or unit manager to recce a tree down, and perhaps postpone the task until outside working hours to make it more volunteer friendly. Instead of every member rushing to the unit...
A 5 minute difference in SES dispatch/arrival when local MFS/CFS are rolling isnt going to be a major problem..
