24.01.2022 Join us at Federation Square on Sunday 7 October from 10.30am 4pm for the free Victorian Seniors Festival celebration. We’ll be down along River Walk next to ...our friends from Neighbourhood Watch Victoria Inc. Drop in and say ‘hi’ to Victoria Police officers and learn about the work Victoria Police are doing to keep older Victorians safe, as well as information about careers in policing. Remember there is no maximum age limit for joining Victoria Police. As long as you can pass the recruitment process and conduct the operational requirements of the job, you can apply! We have had over 450 people aged 50+ apply for police and PSO roles in the last three years. We are also supporting a Transport Accident Commission (TAC) stall with Road Policing Command on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 October at the Festival Hub, Melbourne Town Hall so come along and chat to us about road safety issues facing seniors.

While we encourage burning off and any fire prevention activities, ensuring you have sufficient fire suppression is essential for the duration of your burn. We are also continually astounded at the speed people continue to pass emergency services working on the side of the road! We had many crews working road side, all of which would like to make it home to their families!!
