Nominations for the 2026 Victorian Rotary Emergency Service Community Awards (RESCA) are open now, from March until the end of April.

The Vic RESCA awards cover all recognised emergency service agencies operating in Victoria. There are many deserving people that are worthy of being recognised and Rotarians are ideally placed to know who these people are in their communities. The attached flyer contains all the necessary details for nominations.
 
Vic RESCA also supports Emergency Service Foundation (ESF) scholarships up to $10k each for 2 ES personnel each year to embark on a study tour with particular relevance in improving the ES sector.
 
Over the last 3 years of the awards we have recognised 37 finalists from across Victoria and all the ES agencies in both a volunteer and paid capacity. Of our 2 winners each year four of the six have also been recognised as winners at the National level highlighting the success of our program.
