The amendment includes employees and volunteers of the ACT Emergency Services Agency. Including these workers is consistent with the key policy aim of the bill, which is to support those involved in undertaking emergency duties or supporting emergency response on behalf of the community.
These changes are supported by the ESA. “ESA employee” refers to those who work for the ESA but who are not a member of an emergency service. ESA volunteers are uniformed volunteers of the ESA mapping unit who are responsible for supporting ESA and ACT Policing, and who have duties in the field.
