State Emergency Service
Emergency Response and Natural Disaster Support
SES volunteers come from many walks of life, backgrounds and professions. In fact, the main thing SES volunteers have in common is a desire to make a contribution within their community.
​
SES volunteers make themselves available to respond to emergencies when required, depending on their individual skills and training.
​
Volunteers receive comprehensive training to enable them to perform the tasks required.
​
The benefits of becoming an SES volunteer are immense. Volunteers have opportunities to develop new, skills, form new friendships, accept high levels of responsibility and enjoy the team spirit of a tightly knit group.
