The Fallen Personnel Memorial honours the people who have lost their lives while working for the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and predecessor organisations.
We established the memorial in 2020 to pay tribute to the personnel who have died in the line of duty, whether that be
- protecting lives
- property
- the environment from the threat of bushfires
- in other lines of work, such as forestry, environmental science and land management
As part of the establishment of the memorial, 9 honour rolls have been installed at DEECA sites across Victoria listing the names of our fallen personnel.

Metropolitan and regional honour rolls
The statewide honour roll at DEECA’s Nicholson Street office in Melbourne currently lists the names of 145 personnel who died between the 1870s and early 2020.
The other 8 honour rolls have been set up at regional sites and list the names specific to a region of Victoria.
We will always honour and pay tribute to our colleagues who tragically lost their lives serving the people of Victoria.
