The Authority

CFA falls within the State Government portfolio of the Department of Justice and reports to the Minister of Police and Emergency Services.

The Authority was constituted under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958 and is ultimately responsible for CFA's overall performance and compliance with legislation and best practice. The Authority is the formal link between the community, the State Government, CFA members and Volunteer Association.

The 12 member Authority comprises the CFA Chairman and members appointed by the Governor in Council. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is appointed by the Authority and is responsible for implementing policies and general business administration.
