Good Afternoon RFS Volunteers,
I am writing to you to personally request your support as part of the COVID-19 Border Operation at Brisbane Airport.

Our State Emergency Service volunteers have done an outstanding job during this operation; however, we are looking for additional personnel from our Rural Fire Service volunteers to support the operation into the future.

Your role within this operation is to provide support to Queensland Police Service and District Disaster Management Group by undertaking reception of incoming passengers from interstate locations.

This role is essential to this operation as they support passengers through the triage areas, reviewing documentation and instructing passengers on which checkpoint to proceed to.

Volunteers provide additional support to passengers with cultural, age and health requirements.

While there has been some concerns about the border operation, I would like to reassure our volunteers that the work being undertaken is truly respected and valued by the greater Queensland community as well as the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services.

To support you in this role, volunteers will be:
• reimbursed for personal travel in their vehicles,
• provided accommodation if travelling long distances,
• provided meals throughout their shift.

I ask that you please provide your support as part of a whole of government approach to protecting the Queensland community. While bushfire season response will take precedence, your assistance during the COVID-19 border operation is required.

If you are able to support our operation at Brisbane Airport, please follow your chain of command to nominate.

Lance Duncan
