Q&A
Is the annual cancer health checkup a WHS obligation paid for by QFD, and is it available to volunteers?
No — in Queensland it is currently at the firefighter's own expense, though FCFA tries to connect people with bulk-billing GPs. FCFA is actively advocating to government that firefighters should not have to pay for annual screening given the presumptive legislation and cost-saving benefits of early detection.
