SES Welcomes Volunteers
After the recent flooding it’s a timely reminder of the great work done by our State Emergency Service.
In Queensland there are around six thousand members of the State Emergency Service.
They are generous and brave people who are always there to help.
SES members are co-workers with Ambulance Services, Fire Brigades, Rural Fire Brigades and the Police.
Their work includes flood boat rescue, road crash rescue, Urban and Rural evacuation searches and rescues, emergency traffic management,, agency support and community education.
The worth of the SES is played out whenever there’s a disaster.
For anyone interested in joining the SES there’s a six months basic training period. Members will receive world class training and their primary purpose is to assist the most vulnerable members of the community.
There are eight area offices in Queensland, manned by paid staff. Volunteers are not paid for their services.
Warwick Unit SES services the northern portion of the Southern Downs Regional Council area.
Warwick is under the auspices of Toowoomba.
Volunteers are always needed so if you’d like to know more contact Toowoomba area office on 4592 5201.
