Annual volunteer reimbursement 2024
More than 11,500 people volunteer with Fire and Emergency crewing 594 stations across Aotearoa.
They give their time to serve their communities in various roles as firefighters, operational support, medical first responders and brigade support.
They take time out from their families, jobs and lives to attend callouts, training and community events.
We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. To acknowledge this, we offer an annual reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.
The full reimbursement amount is $380. For all pro-rated amounts visit the Annual volunteer reimbursement page. All payments are non-taxable.
Volunteers only need to opt-in once. If you have already opted-in or if you received the reimbursement last year – there’s nothing more you need to do.
- For volunteers who have already opted-in - we’ll email you in late August to confirm you’re opted-in and let you know next steps
- For volunteers who would like to opt-in – please visit the Annual volunteer reimbursement page and follow the steps to apply
