I am advised that the South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS) does not operate any grant programs or funds. The CFS administered grant payments for additional support for volunteer firefighters in the extraordinary 2019-20 bushfire season on behalf of the Commonwealth Government. During 2019-20, a total of $347,080 was paid to 97 recipients and during 2020-21, a total of $18,200 was paid to 5 recipients.
I am advised that the South Australian State Emergency Service and the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service were not responsible for any grant programs or funds during 2019-20 and it is not anticipated that either agency will be responsible for any grant program or fund over the period 2020-21 to 2023-24.
