Community Defence Marshalling SystemWe’re a community marshalling school.Our objective is to defend rallies, pickets, public meetings and similar events. We work collectively to mitigate harm, prevent injuries and avoid arrests. We invite new marshals to bolster our role at protests and events in Naarm/Melbourne. Our Marshalling School is a volunteer structure. At no cost, we provide coordinators, give advice, run training, and organise the deployment of defence marshals for community events.I’m keen. What next? Join our WhatsApp group* – where we share marshal call-outs for upcoming events. Request a marshal role for an upcoming event. Request marshalling for an event you’re organising.
Read our training manual for a full description of our school's role and activities. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have, and will train you ahead of deployment.
