Description
The Victorian Council of Churches Emergencies Ministry began in 1977 and has grown to over 1,200 volunteers who are trained to respond to disasters & emergencies across Victoria.
“The VCC was first brought into disaster recovery work under DISPLAN in 1978 following an approach by the Rev. John Hill regarding the provision of counselling and support services to disaster affected people. As a result, the Victorian Council of Churches through John Hill was asked to chair the counselling sub committee of the Displan Welfare Plan. This committee later evolved to become The Personal Services and Counselling Sub Committee, after the 1983 bushfires, the Community Recovery Committee.” (Smale, S; VCC 1995)
DFFH has contracted the VCCEM to provide outreach, psychological first aid, personal support and emotional spiritual care. The Community Chaplaincy arrangement was initiated in preparation for the 2006 Commonwealth Games with a view to continuing as an element within the State Emergency Recovery Plan (SERP).
