CFS Cadet Program

104 Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (12 September 2023). In reference to Budget Paper 4, Volume 2, page 36—What has prompted the need for a review and modernisation of the CFS cadet program?

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services): I have been advised:

The South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS) has been running successful cadet programs for many years, which provides the opportunity for young people between the age of 11–18 years to learn new skills and gain experience within a community-based volunteering organisation.

The CFS Cadet Program was last redeveloped in 2010 and resulted in a suite of resources including policies, guides and forms being implemented within the organisation. The CFS Cadet Program resource and administrative framework review ensures the program remains contemporary.
