Add Victorian State Emergency Services (VicSES) to list of Charities.
Can we please add VicSES to the list of Charities?
Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) is a volunteer-based organisation, providing emergency assistance to the community. VicSES is one of several state-based organistations in Australia providing emergency assistance to the community.
VICSES receives donations for two purposes:
Volunteer Unit Assistance Fund (UAF): The purpose of the UAF is to enable units of the Victoria State Emergency Service Authority (VICSES) registered under section 35 of the Victoria State Emergency Service Act 2005 to meet the costs of purchasing and maintaining equipment and facilities, providing training and resources and otherwise to meet the administrative expenses of the units.
Volunteer Hardship Fund (VHF): The purpose of the VHF is to provide relief to VICSES volunteers and/or their families who are in necessitous circumstances, resulting from VICSES volunteers suffering from medical condition arising out of their authorised VICSES volunteer activities, pursuant to the Victoria State Emergency Service Act 2005 or where a volunteer’s death is connected with their authorised VICSES volunteer activities.
In laymen's terms, the UAF helps the individual VicSES Units with the costs associated with running the Unit, whereas the VHF provides support for VicSES volunteers who are injured or family members of Volunteers killed while on duty.
It would be great to have VicSES, (along with NSWSES, QSES, SASES, WASES, TasSES, ACTSES and NTSES) on board so we can donate to their services.

Further to the above, I would like to be able to donate to the Bendigo VicSES Unit as a Twitch Streamer, if possible.
Thanks :)
