The UFU operates on a tiered basis, with varying levels of representation. Members are initially represented by local Branch officials whose role is to manage Union business on a local level, with each of the seven Regions in the state having Firefighter and Officer Delegates representing them on the Union's State Committee of Management (SCM). Additionally, the SCM has two Auxiliary Firefighter Delegates, a Senior Officer Delegate and a Communication Centres Delegate to ensure effective representation of all members. The Union's SCM meets quarterly and comprises the regional Delegates as well as the State Executive.
