Victorian Country Fire Authority Life Membership Medal

Full size medal - Unmounted with 15cm ribbon as required for swing mounting.

The Country Fire Authority Life Membership Medal is recognition for an aggregate dedicated service of not less than 30 years in one or more fire brigades, or with CFA, may be nominated for a CFA Life Membership Medal. Life Membership may be awarded at any time after the qualifying service and is not linked necessarily with that member's retirement or resignation from CFA. Concurrent service as both a paid and unpaid member will only be counted once. It is expected that the nomination will come from where the member has the most service.

CFA retains the right to revoke and reinstate a Life Membership.

Criteria

The key elements that will be taken into account in awarding Life Membership are:

an ongoing commitment to CFA or brigade over many years

contributions to CFA or brigade that have enhanced its standing within its membership and the wider community

 commitment that does not seek personal reward

A high level of recognition from within CFA or brigade of the nominee's work over a number of years.
