Ashley Feraude in conversation with Wayne Phillips, who is the Commissioner at ACT ESA, the agency that includes Fire & Rescue, Ambulance, Rural Fire Service and State Emergency Services.
If that sounds like a big job with a wide scope of responsibility, then that’s because it certainly is. Wayne takes us through the reactive and proactive work of the various areas, the type of people this work attracts and the supreme professional bond within the teams.
We also chat about Wayne’s journey from being a young firefighter in Sydney’s King's Cross to his Commissioner position now, and the sliding doors moment that took him there.
