Volunteers can provide services ranging from fence construction to tree planting, painting to debris removal. The list of services required will grow as government departments work with local communities to determine the assistance required. The Victorian Government is currently developing a strategy to recognise and acknowledge the enormous contributions made by communities, fire and recovery agencies during the bushfire. The Government is working closely with relevant agencies to identify the most appropriate way in which the State can thank, not only those volunteers on the front line, but the many volunteers who worked tirelessly to protect the rest of Victoria during this period.
