Metropolitan Fire Service

In reply to Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (16 May 2024).

The Hon. D.R. CREGAN (Kavel—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Special Minister of State): I have been advised:

A proposed framework for direct entry for firefighters and senior firefighters across Australia to enter the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) has been developed. This proposed framework will require applicants to undertake an assessment to ensure that they meet the requirements for a firefighter or senior firefighter in South Australia.

This framework is currently undergoing consultation with MFS staff and the United Firefighters Union of South Australia.
