Grants are available to volunteer organisations including CFA, VicSES, LSV and MSAR organisations.

VESEP is an ongoing, annual program that provides emergency services volunteer groups with grants to help fund operational equipment, including:

 - The purchase of new vehicles

 - Trucks

 - Tankers

 - Watercraft and trailers

Volunteer groups can also put the money towards minor facility improvements, including refurbishments and amenities, such as kitchens and change rooms.

Groups can apply for a grant up to $150,000, with the Government providing $2 for every $1 of funding contributed by the local volunteer group.

Funding goes towards projects and equipment that help our volunteer brigades, units and clubs respond to emergencies more efficiently and effectively, so they can continue keeping Victorians safe.
