Recognising our dedicated emergency services personnel

The Rockliff Liberal Government is proud to support our dedicated Police, Fire, Ambulance and SES Tasmania personal who work and volunteer every day to keep our communities safe.

Today at UTAS Stadium in Launceston, Tasmanians and all of Australia stands together to recognise our emergency services personnel with a themed Hawthorn home match against the Western Bulldogs.

Minister Felix Ellis said that this is a great opportunity for the Tasmanian community to show up and say thank you to the people who keep us safe every day.

“Our emergency services attending today’s game will join a Guard of Honour as Hawthorn enters the ground, as well as a half-time lap of honour around the stadium,” he said.

“I hope the sound of the cheering crowds makes each of our emergency services in Tasmania know how appreciated they are.

“I’d encourage anyone who wants a rewarding career or volunteer experience, to join today. There is always space for you to join, and you will become part of a huge community of thousands of like-minded people in Tasmania.

“The inaugural Tasmania Emergency Services Match was held for the first time in August last year, and we’re thrilled to again be able to thank and celebrate each and every one of our emergency services personnel on a national stage,” Minister Ellis said.
