Welcome to the Joint Civil Aid Corps.  We are a registered charity that aims to provide a voluntary emergency support organisation.  What started as a passion for me, has grown into a passion for many others, and goes further than being emergency support.  It centres on how the Corps can bring together people and communities. 

The concept of our forefathers from the Civil Defence Corps was based on their belief: ‘For the Communities, By the Communities’.  To us, this has become a compulsion to make our communities self-reliant when it comes to emergency preparedness and resilience.  The best way we feel that we can make that happen is to offer people and communities the opportunity to participate, and that is where the Joint Civil Aid Corps comes in.

At the centre of the Corps’ activities is training, and it is the time spent training together that builds understanding, respect, trust and bonds of friendship that will influence how people and communities see themselves.

As a non-sectarian, non-denomination organisation, our doors are open to all throughout adulthood as we have no set retirement age.  Our approach is built on common sense rather than dictated by convention.  Our communities are built of people from all walks of life and backgrounds, and we want the Corps to reflect this fully.  Our openness led to our first key principle and concept of ‘ONE PEOPLE’, regardless of the labels Society chooses to place on people and groups.

If you feel you have time and interest to be apart of something unique in support of your community, then we would like you to become a part of us, to help us build and link the Corps across all communities.
