4 Concluding remarks

Two landmark government commitments have been completed since IGEM's 2021 progress report – the Fiskville Redress Scheme as an important mechanism to help provide justice for people affected by Fiskville, and the new Central Highlands training centre that will benefit CFA volunteers and other emergency services personnel from across the state.

IGEM acknowledges the efforts of EMV, DJCS and CFA to implement these commitments and thanks these agencies and DELWP for their ongoing implementation activity and cooperation in preparing this report.

IGEM will continue to monitor the implementation progress of the three remaining commitments –completion of WMS at the remaining CFA training centres; implementation of the Emergency Responder Health Program; and work to update the National Implementation Plan should Australia ratify the decision to list PFOS in Annex B to the Stockholm Convention.
