Create a New Application

e-Recruit is the online system Fire and Emergency uses to process new volunteer applications, role progressions, brigade transfers and re-engagements.

You need to be logged into the Portal to access e-Recruit so that the applicant can register and complete the online application. They will need to provide their personal email address and set up a password.

You’ll be asked to confirm their identity by sighting two forms of ID (at least one must include a photo).

Once completed, e-Recruit will send automatic notifications to the applicant’s email address as they progress through each stage of recruitment.
