Whether you’re selecting your next cohort of firefighters, promoting emerging leaders, or building a future-ready talent pipeline, VCA has the tools, experience and genuine commitment to support your service every step of the way.

We specialise in supporting Fire and Rescue Services to fairly and objectively identify talent and nurture potential.

Our core team consists of Occupational Psychologists who apply scientific theory and evidence-based approaches to help organisations maximise employee performance — from recruitment and development through to promotion.

The success of this sector depends on its connection with people—how they are communicated with, developed, supported, chosen, engaged, rewarded, and recognised. Our services are designed to reflect the critical role of candidate and employee wellbeing, as well as the link between workplace satisfaction and positive performance, productivity, teamwork, retention, and morale.
