CEFA aims to provide cost effective services particularly to small events with limited budgets, though it is happy to consider any event. In doing this, it also aims to provide a pool of well trained and experienced first-aiders, and equipment, available to assist in community emergencies.

CEFA is incorporated as a Victorian not-for-profit Association.

Where your favourite band plays their best set, while a bloke tries to tell you an over-exaggerated story of the one that got away.
