Country Fire Service

In reply to the Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (28 July 2021). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following:

VUCA was engaged through a standard tender process in 2019 to support recruitment for the role of Chief Officer of Country Fire Service (CFS).

Following the resignation of Mr Dominic Lane from the role of Chief Executive of the South Australian Fire and Emergency Services Commission (SAFECOM) on 1 April 2021, the Commissioner determined a new approach to market was required given the role was different to the role of Chief Officer of CFS.

Rosemary Hardham and Associates was invited to submit a quotation due to their significant prior experience in recruiting to interstate and national senior emergency management roles. After evaluating the tenders, Rosemary Hardham and Associates was selected.
