Travel and accommodation

Volunteers

DFES supports regional volunteers attending the WAFES Conference by organising and covering travel and accommodation costs.

To be eligible, volunteers must be from a BGU located more than 50km from Crown Perth, where the conference will be held.

Volunteers from a BGU within 50km of Crown Perth are not eligible for travel and accommodation assistance. However, during the registration process they can join a waitlist for accommodation should it become available, with payment required at the time of booking.

DFES staff including Career Fire and Rescue personnel

DFES staff who are WAFES Awards finalists and located more than 50km from Crown Perth will be prompted to provide details for flights and accommodation during the registration process. Travel and accommodation costs will be organised and covered by the WAFES Awards.

All other DFES staff and Career Fire and Rescue personnel, including nominators of a WAFES Award finalist, attending the conference and/or awards gala dinner will need to manage and cover their own travel and accommodation costs with their command or region and ensure they meet the requirements of the DFES Corporate Travel policy.
