Attracting and retaining skilled women remains a challenge across Australia’s meat supply chain. The Meat Business Women One to Watch Award recognises high-potential women aged 35 and under, working in the Australian meat and food supply chain, with a $5,000 award to invest in their development.

This national award celebrates emerging leaders who show clear potential to innovate and influence the sector. Self-nominations are required this year, with employer consent. The funding can be used for accredited study, leadership programs, coaching, or conference travel.

WE NEED YOU .....
.. especially if you have spare time during summer & want a challenging but extremely rewarding role with Millicent CFS Brigade.

One of our roles is to provide a filling service at the Millicent Airport for the Air Tractor 802 fire bombing aircraft.

Many of you would have seen them operate around Mt.Muirhead last season with very short turnaround times. The realities are if we can't fill them with water & product locally the turnaround times would be way longer & therefore reduce the effectiveness of the aircraft role.

That's why we are looking to recruit an extra one or two more crew to be available during summer for the filling ops.

You don't need to do extensive (days) of training - it is really quite straight forward,

You would be on-call via phone & pager to respond to the airport at a moments notice. Outside of summer there are no commitments for you (our normal rural fire fighting, structure fire fighting, roach crash rescue & HAZMAT roles don't apply)

The role is a critical one in our Aerial Fire Fighting function & you will joining a very dedicated team.

Please consider putting your hand up.

DM us or contact Phil on 0419814364.
