SENT ON BEHALF OF GILL METZ, GENERAL MANGER
Good afternoon all,
Starting today, Region 14 will be issuing daily email updates of proceedings from the Royal Commission. These updates will provide a succinct overview of the previous day’s proceedings, giving members an idea as to who is appearing before the commission and what is being said.
Members that have registered and logged on to CFA Connect http://www.cfaconnect.net.au/ have been able to read the updates online since Day One. These email updates are an addition to that, particularly for members that may not have registered to CFA Connect or those that, for whatever reason, cannot access CFA Connect.
To become a registered CFA Connect member you'll need a CFA Online (Brigades Online and the Intranet) login, though, so if you don't have one, organise a login now by following these simple steps. (Note that you need to create a separate CFA Connect account. You cannot log in to CFA Connect with your CFA Online details).
Full transcripts from the previous day’s testimony continue to be available at http://www.royalcommission.vic.gov.au/ and members are encouraged to download these transcripts, if they so wish.
It’s requested that these email updates be printed/distributed to members, either at the brigade or passed on via email (or some other mechanism)
Providing evidence to the Royal Commission
Members who receive a phone call to provide evidence to the commission are encouraged to call General Manager Gill Metz on 8746 1400 or mobile 0417 523 165 for information on all available welfare and legal support options, including transportation to and from the Royal Commission building. Receiving a call to provide evidence can be unsettling and Region 14 would like to help ease any qualms by making available this support.
Regards
