Petition request
That the House of Representatives change legislation to give volunteer firefighters the same ACC coverage and benefits as their paid counterparts.
Petition reason
Volunteers want their voices heard. Volunteer firefighters are advocating for the same recognition and ACC coverage as their paid counterparts. 12,000 volunteer firefighters are excluded from certain ACC benefits due to being classified as non-employees. We believe: ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of these volunteers must be a top priority for the government; we need action; our volunteers are vital; there is a duty of care that is being missed and volunteers are suffering.
