VFD Longevity Program

Your Annual Health Benchmark, Built for the Long Run.

You have completed your Cancer Surveillance. Now you need the next step: One comprehensive 3-hour assessment. One clear picture of where you stand. One plan to protect your career.

Health professionals with personal health profiles

Fit for today.

Healthy for the long-term.

Built for the Realities of the Job

You train to perform under pressure. You prepare for the unpredictable. But most firefighters do not get a structured, annual look at how the job is actually affecting their long-term health.

Exposure accumulates.
Stress compounds.
Recovery gets harder.

The VFD Longevity Program gives you a clear, disciplined benchmark each year, so nothing important goes unnoticed.

What You Achieve

  • Stay operational longer
  • Reduce avoidable cardiac and metabolic risk
  • Catch occupational cancer signals early
  • Maintain lung capacity

“Later in the year, you will return for a follow-up GP or NP appointment to review. You are tracked, measured and supported so you can strategize for whatever you need.”
