Please join the Emergency Services Foundation and supporters of the Emergency Services community at the 2026 Better Together Luncheon in the Latrobe Ballroom at Sofitel on Collins Melbourne.

The Better Together Luncheon is more than a corporate event. It is a powerful gathering of leaders, changemakers, and community champions united by a shared purpose: to support the mental wellbeing of those who dedicate their lives to keeping Victorians safe.

This year we will hear lessons in leadership, adversity and human connection from:

• Graeme Simpfendorfer - a former Detective Sergeant, Lead Investigator on the nationally acclaimed TV series Hunted Australia and TEDx presenter.
• Tony Pearce - ESF Board Director and passionate support of the mental health and wellbeing of first responders.

Join us along with representatives from our member agencies, sector suppliers, and corporate supporters at this special event to acknowledge those who protect us.
